Résumé

Optimization is a critical tool for all engineers and a key course of study at university and industry training levels. Though the techniques of optimization are relatively old, the tools for implementing optimization have advanced greatly in recent years. Non-linear problems encountered in the real world include huge numbers of variables that under normal circumstances could never be tested but are now analyzed via computer. MATLAB is the computer mathematical engine that has grown to become the standard in the industry as well as in the class room. This book brings a new approach to teaching optimization for engineers involving this most popular of software engines. Most other books cover the basics or the classic theory of optimization; Venkataraman covers this with the focus on the way optimization is done in the real world, via MATLAB. The book will be packaged with a CD-ROM which will supply the student version of MATLAB software. This will encourage self teaching of the optimization techniques covered by allowing examples and open ended problems to be solved by the student. Because the book will have this self-teaching feature it should have a solid secondary market in industry.
