A way in to deeper optimization algorithms

I have always been a operational research aficionado, but when I skimmed through this book the first time I did not really "get it". Then, I was led back to this book and now it has become one of those books I like to pick up just to bring the remembrance of the concepts it talks about. One main topic is duality and how for different problems we can squeeze the gap between the solution built in primal and dual space. I have known the theory for years, yet it is only more recently and with help among others from this book, that I start to get a glimpse of the whole depth and magic in this area of "applied" mathematics.
