Product Description
The term "optimization" is used in describing a large number of numerical methods used to test the variables in a given process in order to identify the best method of process. The process of optimization lies at the root of engineering since the classical function of the engineer is to design new, more efficient, and less expensive systems as well as to devise plans and procedures to improve existing systems.
In recent years optimization techniques have been streamlined by the use of computers and artificial intelligence methods which can analyze a larger number of variables (especially under non-linear, multivariable conditions) more quickly than ever before. This book covers all classical linear and nonlinear optimization techniques while focusing on what has become the industry standard of mathematical engines, MATLAB. The author uses MATLAB as the tool in examples for running computer-based optimization problems at both the student level and beyond. This is classic coverage of optimization methods with a focus on modeling and the illustration of the numerical techniques via MATLAB.

 Great self teaching tool January 3, 2002
10 out of 15 found this review helpful
In this text the author chooses MATLAB as the tool in running computer-based optimization problems. This approach clearly covers all levels of optimization, and the book further supports this coverage through many helpful examples that balance theory with the application. The open-ended problems that are provided are a helpful mechanism for reinforcing the lessons of the text. The website that is a companion to the book, helped me access the reference links to the MATLAB software and the author's own personal site. This web site is a true lifeline to the book.
How to learn and use MATLAB quickly! November 2, 2002

Excellent source for all people who don't have time to study MATLAB in-depth. A lot of useful examples help anyone to create his/her own code in no time!
 worst ever!!! January 29, 2004

I've had Dr. Venkat as a professor for 3 classes at RIT and he is by far the worst I have ever had. DO NOT BUY HIS BOOK! It will only make you dumber! That is how I feel after coming out of his class. I believe the reviewer that says the website is a main resource, he points us to the class site all the time with no helpful information, and because he can't answer the questions himself on the spot. Are you buying a book or a website? I think that's all the helpful information I have for now.
