Book Description
The only book on the market devoted to sequential simplex optimization This book presents an easy-to-learn, effective optimization technique that can be applied immediately to many problems in the real world. The sequential simplex is an evolutionary operation (EVOP) technique that uses experimental results-it does not require a mathematical model. The authors present their subject with a level of detail and clarity that is refreshingly welcome in a technical text. The basics are presented first, followed by a detailed discussion of the fine points needed to get the most out of this optimization technique. Worksheets are provided and their use is illustrated with step-by-step worked examples. This makes the logic and calculations of the simplex algorithms easy to understand and follow. The text also provides more than 200 figures and over 500 references to sequential simplex applications, which allows rapid access to specific examples of the use of the technique in a wide range of applications. Sequential Simplex Optimization: A Technique for Improving Quality and Productivity in Research, Development, and Manufacturing is essential for any student or professional who desires to learn this innovative technique quickly and easily.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“…a well-conceived, thoroughly researched, and superbly written book that should provide chemists, as well as other scientists involved in experimental activity, with a highly useful desk reference on experimental optimization. It is clear that anyone applying the tools described in this book will achieve the results of their experimental efforts in less time and with lower costs. They will very likely get better results in the process.” -Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences “…recommended for all chemists, research investigators, and students of chemometrics. It will be a valuable addition to libraries.” -Journal of Medicinal Chemistry “…this book has many valuable features. For those who wish to learn how to apply these techniques to chemical and similar systems, I can think of no better source.” -Journal of Quality Technology
