Overview
Introduction to Optimum Design, Third Edition describes an organized approach to engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner. It illustrates various concepts and procedures with simple examples and demonstrates their applicability to engineering design problems. Formulation of a design problem as an optimization problem is emphasized and illustrated throughout the text. Excel and MATLAB (R) are featured as learning and teaching aids.

Reviews
The book is definitely a reference that practitioners would like to have and depend upon, especially with the plethora of examples and applications...the book is a solid introduction to optimization algorithms. - Georges Fadel, Associate Editor, Journal of Mechanical Design Arora's Introduction to Optimum Design, 2nd Ed., furthers its goal of describing engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner which is both highly accessible to and useful for a wide audience. - David F. Thompson, Graduate Program Director, University of Cincinnati I have used several optimization books over the past 10 years to support my various graduate optimization courses. Of all the books that I have used, I prefer Dr. Arora's Introduction to Optimum Design, 2nd Ed - Tom R. Mincer, California State University ...this book is well written and covers just about every topic that one needs to know about the optimum design process. It includes a good balance of theory and application. The book will therefore be appealing to all users. - Practice Periodical On Structural Design and Construction - ASCE, Nov. 2005
