Maplesoft Releases Global Optimization Toolbox
Powerful solution offers state-of-the-art algorithms for industrial-class
optimization applications
WATERLOO, CANADA, Wednesday, June 30, 2004 – Maplesoft, the leading
provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science, and
mathematics, announced today the release of the new Global Optimization
Toolbox. The toolbox extends the power of Maple 9.5, the principal desktop
productivity environment software from Maplesoft. The Global Optimization
Toolbox ensures you obtain the absolutely best answer to modeling problems
that have many possible solutions, under complicated constraints. This
power is delivered through the easiest to use environment in analytical
software.
Optimization models are easily defined using the powerful Maple numeric and
symbolic system, and then quickly solved by the world-class numeric
solvers, all within the rich Maple environment. Within this environment,
the user has the additional advantages of natural and flexible problem
definition, syntax-free visualizations, and technical knowledge management
capabilities, making this a superior tool for solving optimization
problems. Application areas include advanced engineering modeling, medical
research, chemical processes, and finance.
“Optimization is one of the toughest computational challenges for engineers
and scientists. Maplesoft’s solution offers the most sophisticated, yet
very easy to use, technology to meet these challenges.” states Dr. Laurent
Bernardin, Maplesoft’s Chief Scientist.
Global Optimization is part of the Maple Professional Toolbox Series from
Maplesoft. The commercial list price is $1695 US.
