Mykel J. Kochenderfer

Author or lead co-author of the three MIT Press textbooks on algorithmsbook.com: Algorithms for Optimization (with Tim A. Wheeler, 2019), Algorithms for Decision Making (2022) and the unpublished Algorithms for Validation. His recurring co-author across all three is Wheeler.

The pattern worth recording is the publishing model, not the biography: MIT Press hardcovers with free CC BY-NC-ND PDFs and Julia notebooks on GitHub alongside them. That is how a T1 academic reference reaches this corpus without a paywall. Nothing beyond the books is documented here — the site gives no affiliation or bio.
