Comments on the first edition:

`
Each chapter contains illlustrative examples and exercises. This excellent book is the first textbook on deterministic global optimization.

Mathematical Reviews (96g:90001)

`
The authors provide a nice selection of homework exercises (with solutions) at an appropriate level and a good mixture of theory, application, and numerical problems throughout the text. The text would be perfect for a course on global optimization.
