| Summary |
"This book is the first contemporary comprehensive treatment of optimization without derivatives, and it covers most of the relevant classes of algorithms from direct-search to model-based approaches. It is intended for anyone interested in using optimization on problems where derivatives are difficult or impossible to obtain. Such audiences include chemical, mechanical, aeronautical, and electrical engineers, as well as economists, statisticians, operations researchers, management scientists, biological and medical researchers, and computer scientists. It is also appropriate for use in an advanced undergraduate or early graduate-level course on optimization for students having a background in calculus, linear algebra, and numerical analysis."--BOOK JACKET |
