"This volume deserves a prominent role not only as a textbook, but also as a desk reference for anyone who must cope with noisy data…" (Computing Reviews.com, January 6, 2006)

"...well written and accessible to a wide audience...a welcome addition to the control and optimization community." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, June 2005)

"…a step toward learning more about optimization techniques that often are not part of a statistician's training." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2004)

“…provides easy access to a very broad, but related, collection of topics…” (Short Book Reviews, August 2004)

"Rather than simply present various stochastic search and optimization algorithms as a collection of distinct techniques, the book compares and contrasts the algorithms within a broader context of stochastic methods." (Technometrics, August 2004, Vol. 46, No. 3)

This book should be on the desk of anyone interested in the theory and application of stochastic search and optimization.
