The current release of this book can be found at here.
This book was desigend originally for the undergraduete course ISE 3434 - "Deterministic Operations Research II" taught at Virginia Tech. I will cover topics in linear programming, integer programming, and nonlinear programming along with basic understanding of complexity theory, many code examples, and various methods of solving problems.
- Throughout the book, it needs more examples, figures, and associated code.
- Needs several sections on Linear Optimization (modeling, algorithms, and polyhedral theory)
- Needs more topics on heuristics (genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, tabu search, etc.)
- Editing, rewriting, and improving content.
- Properly formatted citations of resued material.

This is part of the Open Optimization project - an ecosystem for open-source materials for teaching optimization and operations research. This ecosystem is being formed to host open-source lecture notes, lecture slides, examples, code, figures, and textbooks on material and courses related to optimization.

All material posted will be not just open-source, but open-source code as well - including LaTeX, tikz, and other means of generating content. This allows those interested in reusing material an easy way to change and adapt the material as needed.
