I am a student taking a course on optimization and we have a selection of three textbooks (in no particular order):
Numerical Optimization by Jorge Nocedal and Stephen Wright, Springer Verlag; second edition
Convex Optimization by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe, Cambridge University Press
Nonlinear Programming by Dimitri P. Bertsekas, Athena Scientific; 2nd edition
Can anyone recommend one of these textbooks as a primary reference? Preferably, the textbook is up-to-date with the current literature and "hot" research areas in optimization.
