This reprint of the 1969 book of the same name is a concise, rigorous, yet accessible account of the fundamentals of constrained optimization theory. Many problems arising in diverse fields such as machine learning, medicine, chemical engineering, structural design, and airline scheduling can be reduced to a constrained optimization probl
