The textbook for this course is "Convex optimization" by Boyd and Vandenberghe (abbreviated BV, available on the web). I shall also use "Nonlinear programming" by D. Bertsekas (B) and the ever useful "Numerical recipes" by Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling and Flannery (NR) which is available on the web (text and code!). In addition, I shall occasionally distribute research articles as reading material.
