Practical Methods of Optimization
Fully describes optimization methods that are currently most valuable in solving real-life problems. Since optimization has applications in almost every branch of science and technology, the text emphasizes their practical aspects in conjunction with the heuristics useful in making them perform more reliably and efficiently. To this end, it presents comparative numerical studies to give readers a feel for possibile applications and to illustrate the problems in assessing evidence. Also provides theoretical background which provides insights into how methods are derived. This edition offers revised coverage of basic theory and standard techniques, with updated discussions of line search methods, Newton and quasi-Newton methods, and conjugate direction methods, as well as a comprehensive treatment of restricted step or trust region methods not commonly found in the literature. Also includes recent developments in hybrid methods for nonlinear least squares; an extended discussion of linear programming, with new methods for stable updating of LU factors; and a completely new section on network programming. Chapters include computer subroutines, worked examples, and study questions.
A Journey through the History of Numerical Linear Algebra
This expansive volume describes the history of numerical methods proposed for solving linear algebra problems, from antiquity to the present day. The authors focus on methods for linear systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and describe the interplay between numerical methods and the computing tools available at the time. The second part of the book consists of 78 biographies of important contributors to the field. A Journey through the History of Numerical Linear Algebra will be of special interest to applied mathematicians, especially researchers in numerical linear algebra, people involved in scientific computing, and historians of mathematics.
Lillie's Treasures
Ann Doon Heather Smith was born on December 7, 1934 in Canton, China. Youngest of four siblings, her father was an American of Scotch Irish descent, her mother a Eurasian from Shanghai. By the time she was four she had traveled from Canton to Shanghai, to Manila, then back to Shanghai where she then lived continuously with her maternal grandparents and aunt until the advent of World War II. Caught in Japanese occupied Shanghai on December 7, 1941, she and her siblings were subsequently interned by the Japanese in Chapei as non-combatant civilians in early 1943. At the time her sister was 14, brothers 12 and 10, and she was eight years old. Alone in camp, the three youngest children were in c...
