A new electronic book, available from Adept Scientific, presents Maple as an advanced model development and optimisation environment. Special emphasis is placed on solving multi-extremal models using the Global Optimization Toolbox for Maple. Designed for users of Maple in industry, commerce, research and education, the e-book demonstrates how Maple can provide an integrated platform for developing Operations Research/Management Science (ORMS) studies and applications.
Following a brief introduction to ORMS, it presents an extensive collection of detailed numerical examples and illustrative case studies from the sciences and engineering. Users of the Maple Global Optimization Toolbox (an optional add-on to Maple) can gain hands-on experience of working with the numerical examples.
The Global Optimization with Maple electronic book - a collection of fully functional, hyperlinked worksheets - is published as part of the MapleConnect program. MapleConnect is a developer support program that
enables Maple users to commercialise applications that they design and develop based on Maplesoft products. Like other MapleConnect products, it can be purchased as a downloadable product from the Adept Scientific WebStore
