This is a reprint of Peter John classic book on experimental designs originally published by MacMillan but now reprinted by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in their Classics in Applied Mathematics series. The book was written in 1971 and there have been many changes in philosophy for experimental designs since then. Also the revolution in computing has had an influence. In his "Preface to the Classics Edition" John reflects on the state of computing in 1966 when he first contracted to write the book and 1998 when the book was reprinted. He also describes the history of experimental design and extends it to the advances of Taguchi. It was industrial applications that attracted John to do research in experimental designs and he see industry as a rich source for design problems. The text covers all the classical design work with examples from agriculture and industry. It has heavy coverage of incomplete block designs and in Chapter 13 he demonstrates how to construct the various balanced incomplete block designs. There is a lot of theory. Although the title says design and analysis it is primarily a book on designs. Response surface methods and the evolutionary operation approach are also covered....
