This is a book for those who want to understand the main ideas in
the theory of optimal problems. It provides a good introduction to
classical topics (under the heading of ''the calculus of
variations'') and more modern topics (under the heading of
''optimal control''). It employs the language and terminology of
functional analysis to discuss and justify the setup of problems
that are of great importance in applications. The book is concise
and self-contained, and should be suitable for readers with a
standard undergraduate background in engineering mathematics.
