SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Dynamic optimization is rocket science - & more. This volume teaches how to harness the modern theory of dynamic optimization to solve practical problems, not only from space flight but also in emerging social applications such as the control of drugs, corruption, & terror.
