Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Combines new developments in numerical optimization with statistical and experimental methods. Discusses the use of statistical methods to develop mathematical models; search methods for single-variable and multiple-variable optimization as well as classical and numerical techniques directly applicable in response surface methodology; and procedures for optimizing systems experimentally.
