Pablo Pedregal studied Mathematics at U. Complutense (1986) and received his PhD degree from the University of Minnesota at the end of 1989, under the guidance of D. Kinderlehrer. In 1990 he became associate professor at U. Complutense. During the academic year 1994-95 he moved to the young U. de Castilla-La Mancha, and in 1997 he won a full professorship. His field of interest focuses on variational techniques applied to optimization in a broad sense, including, but not limited to, calculus of variations -especially vector, non convex problems, optimal design in continuous media, optimal control, etc, and more recently he has explored variational ideas in areas like controllability, inverse problems, PDEs, and dynamical systems. Since his doctorate, he has regularly traveled to research centers in the USA and Europe. He has written more than one hundred research articles, and several specialized books.

This book, consisting of eight chapters, provides an introduction to optimization aimed at engineering and science students. ... This book is equally suitable to those without prior knowledge in the field as well as those already familiar with the key concepts as a useful reference. The book concludes with a very useful appendix containing hints or full solutions to the exercises presented throughout the book. (Efstratios Rappos, zbMATH 1375.90002, 2018)
