[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Optimization is a mathematical tool developed in the early 1960's used to find the most efficient and feasible solutions to an engineering problem.  It can be used to find ideal shapes and physical configurations, ideal structural designs, maximum energy efficiency, and many other desired goals of engineering. This book is intended for use in a first course on engineering design and optimization.  Material for the text has evolved over a period of several years and is based on classroom presentations for an undergraduate core course on the principles of design.  Virtually any problem f"]
