Presents the latest ground-breaking theoretical foundation to shape optimization in a form that can be used by the engineering and scientific communities. It also clearly explains the state-of-the-art developments in a mathematical language that will attract mathematicians to open questions in this important field.

This primarily undergraduate textbook focuses on finite-dimensional optimization. It offers an original and well integrated treatment of semidifferential calculus and optimization, with an emphasis on the Hadamard subdifferential, introduced at the beginning of the 20th century and somewhat overlooked for many years
