• The book introduces the key ideas behind practical nonlinear optimization. • Computational finance—an increasingly popular area of mathematics degree programmes—is combined here with the study of an important class of numerical techniques. • The financial content of the book is designed to be relevant and interesting to specialists. However, this material—which occupies about one-third of the text—is also sufficiently accessible to allow the book to be used on optimization courses of a more general nature. • The essentials of most currently popular algorithms are described and their performance is demonstrated on a range of optimization problems arising in financial mathematics. • Theoretical convergence properties of methods are stated and formal proofs are provided in enough cases to be instructive rather than overwhelming. • Practical behaviour of methods is illustrated by computational examples and discussions of efficiency, accuracy and computational costs. • Supporting software for the examples and exercises is available (but the text does not require the reader to use or understand these particular codes). • The author has been active in optimization for over thirty years in algorithm development and application and in teaching and research supervision. Audience The book is aimed at lecturers and students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in mathematics, computational finance and related subjects. It is also useful for researchers and practitioners who need a good introduction to nonlinear optimization.

Realism is commonly portrayed as theory that reduces international relations to pure power politics. Michael Williams provides an important reexamination of the Realist tradition and its relevance for contemporary international relations. Examining three thinkers commonly invoked as Realism's foremost proponents - Hobbes, Rousseau, and Morgenthau - the book shows that, far from advocating a crude realpolitik, Realism's most famous classical proponents actually stressed the need for a restrained exercise of power and a politics with ethics at its core. These ideas are more relevant than ever at a time when the nature of responsible responses to international problems are at the centre of contemporary political debate. This original interpretation of major thinkers will interest scholars of international relations and the history of ideas.
