This is a textbook based mainly on graduate engineering design courses, but would be suitable for any discipline involving optimization. It contains a combination of theory (both classical and the more recent developments in such topics as mathematical programming) and practice (in the form of numerous meaningful examples) and computational procedures. It is thus a comprehensive, though easy to read, description of up-to- date optimization procedures. Chapters 1 and 2 are devoted to mathematical modelling in general. Chapters 3 and 4 are concerned with theory and computation in optimization, covering such topics as convexity, gradient methods, equality constraints, inequality constraints, the Kuhn-Tucker theorem, linear programming, sensitivity analysis, and other topics. The remaining four chapters give a more detailed examination of numerical and practical procedures for ensuring an optimum.
