Abstract
This chapter provides a basic introduction to optimization methods, defining their main characteristics. This chapter provides a basic introduction to optimization methods, defining their main characteristics. The main objective of this chapter is to present to metaheuristic methods as alternative approaches for solving optimization problems. The study of the optimization methods is conducted in such a way that it is clear the necessity of using metaheuristic methods for the solution of engineering problems.
