Introduces a wide variety of practical approaches to the synthesis and optimization of shapes for mechanical elements and structures-emphasizing the simplest methods possible for achieving the best results without mathematical complexity, especially computer solutions. Provides in-depth case studies
In this volume Dr. Chiang introduces readers to the most important methods of dynamic optimization used in economics. The classical calculus of variations, optimal control theory, and dynamic programming in its discrete form are explained in the usual Chiang fashion--with patience and thoroughness.
