内容概要

　　最优化是在20世纪得到快速发展的一门学科。本书介绍了最优化理论及其在经济学和相关学科中的应用，全书共分三个部分。第一部分研究了Rn中最优化问题的解的存在性以及如何确定这些解，第二部分探讨了最优化问题的解如何随着基本参数的变化而变化，最后一部分描述了有限维和无限维的动态规划。另外，还给出基础知识准备一章和三个附录，使得本书自成体系。　　本书适合于高等院校经济学、工商管理、保险学、精算学等专业高年级本科生和研究生参考。

•   我所见过的最优化教科书中最好的一本
•   收到的书封皮有一条很严重的折痕，从书的上沿折到下沿。非常失望。想退货又懒得费事。白瞎这么好的书了就我几年网上在joyo，当当和chinapub上买书的经验和其他人的评论来说，一般joyo上有些书比另两家便宜，但时常会有书的质量问题，比如破损和窝折虽然不是次次这样，但这样的问题就像定时炸弹，不知道会吓走多少买家。
•   这是经济学PhD很好很好的数学参考书，尤其是微观经济学中的很多数学方法里面讲解的很到位！
