The objective of global optimization (GO) is to find the best possible solution of multimodal optimization problems. This lecture reviews a recent electronic book devoted to the subject. The e-book presents Maple as an advanced model development and optimization environment: the Global Optimization Toolbox for Maple is used to solve GO models numerically. Following a brief topical introduction, the book presents an extensive collection of detailed numerical examples and illustrative case studies. This e-book is available as a single fully functional (interactive, readily modifiable), printable Maple worksheet, and/or as a set of hyperlinked worksheets. The e-book supports interactive modeling and experimentation, and it can be used in education, research, and industrial practice in the quantitative sciences and engineering.
