Summary

Convexity provides a wide-ranging introduction for final year undergraduates and graduate students. Convex sets and functions are studied in the Euclidean space IRn, thus allowing an exposition demanding only an elementary knowledge of analysis and linear algebra, and enabling concepts to be motivated through simple geometric examples. The fundemental ideas of convexity are natural and appealing, and does not have to travel far along its path,before meeting significant, aesthetically pleasin…

Critics Review

`This is a well-written introduction to convexity and to a variety of its applications. It is written in a clear style, reader-friendly, and with great care. This book, which requires only elementary prerequisites and provides many exercises, is well suited as a text for an introductory course on convexity and selected applications.‘Zentrallblatt for Mathematik, Band 835⁄96.
