Optimization techniques are at the core of data science, including data analysis and machine learning. An understanding of basic optimization techniques and their fundamental properties provides important grounding for students, researchers, and practitioners in these areas. This text covers the fundamentals of optimization algorithms in a compact, self-contained way, focusing on the techniques most relevant to data science. An introductory chapter demonstrates that many standard problems in data science can be formulated as optimization problems. Next, many fundamental methods in optimization are described and analyzed, including: gradient and accelerated gradient methods for unconstrained optimization of smooth (especially convex) functions; the stochastic gradient method, a workhorse algorithm in machine learning; the coordinate descent approach; several key algorithms for constrained optimization problems; algorithms for minimizing nonsmooth functions arising in data science; found

Calculus: Applications in Constrained Optimization provides an accessible yet mathematically rigorous introduction to constrained optimization, designed for undergraduate students who have some experiences with multivariable calculus. Based on a successful course at National Taiwan University (NTU) ── Calculus 4: Applications in Economics and Management, this book connects foundational calculus with contemporary techniques of optimization used in economics, management, and data science.Classical tools such as Lagrange multipliers and second derivative tests are extended into a general framework that covers both equality and inequality constraints. Readers will also learn to identify degenerate cases and apply second-order conditions in multivariable settings. Key concepts from linear algebra are introduced and integrated throughout.Each chapter concludes with a carefully structured set of exercises:● Type (A) questions test basic understanding;● Type (B) questions reinforce key example

In the last few years, Algorithms for Convex Optimization have revolutionized algorithm design, both for discrete and continuous optimization problems. For problems like maximum flow, maximum matching, and submodular function minimization, the fastest algorithms involve essential methods such as gradient descent, mirror descent, interior point methods, and ellipsoid methods. The goal of this self-contained book is to enable researchers and professionals in computer science, data science, and machine learning to gain an in-depth understanding of these algorithms. The text emphasizes how to derive key algorithms for convex optimization from first principles and how to establish precise running time bounds. This modern text explains the success of these algorithms in problems of discrete optimization, as well as how these methods have significantly pushed the state of the art of convex optimization itself.
