Solutions Manual

* Username and password are required to access to the contents

This Solutions Manual is intended as an aid to instructors that use the textbook Principles of Optimal Design: Modeling and Computation, Second Edition by Panos Y. Papalambros and Douglass J. Wilde, published by Cambridge University Press, New York, 2000. It contains solutions to the exercise problems contained in the textbook. The solutions were composed by graduate students at the University of Michigan based on material accumulated over several years of instruction. Mr. Jeongwoo Han compiled and corrected them in their present format. I would like to express my great appreciation to all of my past students (and Mr. Han in particular) for this rather thankless job - in the middle of their research studies.
In spite of our efforts, some errors may still persist. Also, many problems can be solved in more than one ways. Instructors or students that discover any needed corrections or omissions, or have comments to offer, should communicate them to me at the address given on the back of the cover or email me (pyp@umich.edu). Such input is very valuable and will be greatly appreciated.
