This comprehensive graduate textbook, based on course-tested material, delves into both fundamental and advanced optimization theory and algorithms. It encompasses a wide range of numerical methods and topics, including gradient-based and gradient-free algorithms, multidisciplinary design optimization, and uncertainty, with guidance on selecting the appropriate algorithm for specific applications. Additionally, it offers an overview of models and their preparation for numerical optimization, including derivative computation. With over 400 high-quality visualizations and numerous examples, the text facilitates understanding of the theory. Practical tips address common issues encountered in practical engineering design optimization, and numerous end-of-chapter homework problems, progressing in difficulty, help apply knowledge. Accompanied by an online solutions manual for instructors and source code for problems, this textbook is ideal for a one- or two-semester graduate course in optimization across aerospace, civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering departments.
