From the book reviews:

The present volume has collected the classical papers that laid down the foundations of nonlinear optimizations. & The book is invaluable for those who would like to see the origin of nonlinear programming. It is very helpful for teachers and students of the field. (P?ter Hajnal, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Szeged), Vol. 80 (1-2), 2014)
