The PowerPoint slides here have been used as
an aid in teaching from the book Introduction to Stochastic
Search and Optimization. These slides are a complement to the
book and are not intended to be a stand-alone treatment of the material
in the text. The coverage of the chapters is not even; the slides
for some chapters are more thoroughly developed than for other chapters.
Development and modification of these slides is an ongoing process.
Many fundamental topics in the book are not covered in these slides.
Nonetheless, students and instructors are free to use these slides
as appropriate. This use is restricted to noncommercial applications
for self-study or for courses at educational institutions. Note: Equations were created using MathType equation editor versions 4.0 and 5.0. It may be necessary to load certain nonstandard fonts to properly display all slides. These fonts include Brush Script MT, Euclid Math 2, Euclid Math 2 bold, Monotype Sorts, MT Symbol, and MT Extra. The fonts are available at the links shown. With Internet Explorer and the Windows OS, the fonts may be added to the fonts folder by right clicking on the links and saving into the fonts folder in the control panel (the fonts folder is also accessible under the Windows folder in the C drive on a PC). Note: PowerPoint files can be saved using the "Save as" command under File. With Internet Explorer, a PowerPoint file can also be saved by right clicking and choosing "Save target as..." before opening the file.
