Engineering optimization the three R bookand then there is the new Venkat book and Paolo Brandimarte has a sketch section on optimization in financeFinally one of the must haves is the acclaimed How to solve it -- Modern heuristics

Philip i keep telling myself that i should look up on the wilmott bookshop and end up with a link to amazon. I hope the fusetalk people would in their next version create automatic links to the wilmott bookshop as soon as an ISBN number is posted in a message. "J" you may also want to check the other How to solve it book? by Polya

I wrote the following product notes with each having the same math content but areoriented towards different computing platforms:Optimization and J2EEhttp://www.webcabcomponents.com/documentation/ ... timization and J2SEhttp://www.webcabcomponents.com/Java/documenta ... timization and .NEThttp://www.webcabcomponents.com/dotNET/documen ...

The Books numerical optimization are highly depended about how much math you like and want,if you are not interested in the optimization mathematics, then try:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... n=507846by Rudiger Seydel and it is ok. If you prefer more mathematics about optimization algorithms then try:J. Nocedal und S. J. Wright: Numerical Optimization, Springer-Verlag, 1999orD. P. Bersekas: Nonlinear Programming, Athena Scientific, 1999for you maybe the first one is bettter and the second could be out of print....RegardsDaniel
