Features: This book first provides an overview of systems engineering methods by describing the system science system and the philosophy of systems engineering, combined with an introduction to several branches of system science, to strengthen readers' awareness of the application of systems engineering. Then, based on the authors' related research projects, it systematically introduces several popular systems engineering methods to readers: First, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for multi-objective management and decision-making; Second, the Grey System Theory for modeling "grey" systems; Third, system identification for systems with "black box" characteristics; Fourth, dynamic optimization of systems. This book does not take operations research methods as the core of systems engineering but always centers on the system, extending to systems engineering, and then combining the hierarchical, grey, and "black box" characteristics of systems to delve into the methods and applications of establishing system models and their optimization. Additionally, another feature of the book's content organization is that readers only need to have knowledge of advanced mathematics to read through the book.
