Abstract

Design and its subprocesses of analysis, synthesis, and optimization are defined. Design in 1946 is compared with its scope today, both in regard to things designed and the design tools. The paper is concluded with an exhortation to designers, mathematicians, and computer scientists to meld their capabilities for optimum design in the future.
