Book Reviews
![]() I have become a bit worried about blogging. I don't want to be just a "blog jockey", who mixes and matches bits and pieces from other blogs with some personal commentary in between. On the other hand, I don't have the time to write extensively about my views, at least daily. I hardly have time to fulfil my other writing tasks and assignments. For example, I'm currently preparing the third edition of my textbook Solving optimization problems (in Finnish, Optimointitehtävien ratkaiseminen). The second edition has been sold out, so I should finish the third edition as soon as possible. Thus, there is not much time for other writing. Also, I have found a natural forum for my writing in the columns and book reviews I write for various magazines in Finland. Thus, this blog will be short of original ideas for some time.
