Reviews
'Authored by Ignacio Grossmann, the creator and key developer of the field of mixed integer nonlinear programming, this outstanding textbook provides a thorough and comprehensive treatment of fundamental concepts, optimization models and effective solution strategies for discrete and continuous optimization. It is an essential, 'must-have' reference for all students, researchers and practitioners in process systems engineering.' Lorenz Biegler, Carnegie Mellon University
'From the globally recognized leading authority in the field of process systems engineering, this long-awaited book will definitely become the standard reference for anyone interested in optimization. It is very well thought and written, with excellent presentation of the material. The theory is described in a very effective, rigorous, and clear way, with appropriate explanations and examples used throughout, covering traditional topics such as linear and nonlinear optimization concepts and mixed-integer linear programming, along with more advanced topics, such as disjunctive programming, global optimization, and stochastic programming. A real gem and a must read!' Stratos Pistikopoulos, Texas A & M University
'Excellent coverage of the basic concepts and approaches developed in the area of process systems engineering in the last forty years. A unique book that can be easily adapted to advanced undergraduate and graduate-level classes to provide overall guidance to different tools that can be used to model and optimize complex engineering problems. I am certainly looking forward to using it in my class on mathematical modeling and optimization principles.' Marianthi Ierapetritou, University of Delaware
