<p class="MsoNormal">This book provides a self-contained, accessible
introduction to the mathematical advances and challenges resulting
from the use of semidefinite programming in polynomial
optimization. Each chapter addresses a fundamental aspect of
convex algebraic geometry, which is a quickly evolving research
area with contributions from the diverse fields of convex
geometry, algebraic geometry, and optimization. The book begins
with an introduction to nonnegative polynomials and sums of
squares and their connections to semidefinite programming and
quickly advances to several areas at the forefront of current
research. <s><o:p></o:p></s></p>
