[edit] Rewrite needed

I think that this version of the article still needs a rewrite, as right now it cites no references, and goes from a one-sentence overview into consideration of specific examples, while barely touching on methodology. My suggestion would be something along the lines of the following, broken down by section:

• Trajectory optimization is X. It was developed in (timespan) for (applications), and has since been extended for (applications).
• Methods used for trajectory optimization are (list). Brief overview of each, linking appropriate math articles (including optimization (mathematics)).
• Noteworthy specific cases of trajectory optimization.
• References.

I'm open to suggestions. As it stands, I'm not even sure this should be its own article, vs. a redirect to optimization (mathematics). References might change that. --Christopher Thomas 06:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I have attempted to make the changes requested. I have more on the way as I look up the references.Mangogirl2 03:16, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
