"This book presents theory and algorithms for optimization together with applications. Algorithms are discussed in detail with respect to implementation aspects and are accompanied by computer programs. The software parallels the presentation in the text. The software helps in the solution of practical problems with several variables and can be integrated with the user's simulation programs. A variety of optimization techniques are included. The book serves as a text in a course on Engineering Optimization, Nonlinear Programming, or Structural Optimization. The book is intended to be a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduates and also a learning resource for practicing engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
