Engineering Optimization: Theory and Practice, 5ed., An Indian Adaptation

by Singiresu S. Rao

This Indian adaptation of Engineering Theory and Practice, offers new and updated material relevant to the Indian context. Two new appendices on Simulation and Network Analysis and Methods have been included. In line with the ethos of the original work, the text continues to provide a significant number of examples and problems that help illustrate the importance of the results presented in the text. More than a third of these examples and problems have been newly added or revised.
