George B. Dantzig, Linear Programming and Extensions (1963, reprinted 1998), is a classic introduction to the history and theory of linear programming with a wealth of practical applications from finance and management. G.V. Shenoy, Linear Programming: Methods and Applications (1989), focuses on linear programming from a management point of view and is accessible to readers without a background in mathematics. H. Paul Williams, Model Building in Mathematical Programming, 4th ed. (1999), shows how many practical problems can be formulated as optimization problems. Jorge Nocedal and Stephen J. Wright, Numerical Optimization (1999), discusses both linear and nonlinear programming. Dimitri P. Bertsekas, Nonlinear Programming, 2nd ed. (1999), is an introductory textbook with a companion website where many fully worked-out solutions are available.
