Breadth vs. Depth.

Alg4Opt covers more topics, providing the motivation behind the algorithm, sometimes a basic derivation, and a concrete implementation. It has citations in the margin for more info.

Nocedal and Wright will go more in-depth on derivation, proving theorems, etc. Implementations are pseudocode, and fewer topics are covered.
