Introduction to Optimum Design
Optimization is a mathematical tool developed in the early 1960's used to find the most efficient and feasible solutions to an engineering problem. It can be used to find ideal shapes and physical configurations, ideal structural designs, maximum energy efficiency, and many other desired goals of engineering. This book is intended for use in a first course on engineering design and optimization. Material for the text has evolved over a period of several years and is based on classroom presentations for an undergraduate core course on the principles of design. Virtually any problem for which certain parameters need to be determined to satisfy constraints can be formulated as a design optimiza...
The Coast Way
What attracted Louise Abbott to the windswept landscape of the Lower North Shore of Quebec, where remote, isolated, fishing villages cling to the barren rock of small harbours? Perhaps it was her initial contact as a researcher for the CBC, or childhood memories of Montreal radio reports predicting miserable weather for that inhospitable coast. Fascinated by the place, Abbott spent four years documenting life in fishing villages such as Blanc Sablon, St. Augustine, and Kegaska.
