This book is designed as a textbook, suitable for self-learning or for teaching an upper-year university course on derivative-free and blackbox optimization. 

The book is split into 5 parts and is designed to be modular; any individual part depends only on the material in Part I.  Part I of the book discusses what is meant by Derivative-Free and Blackbox Optimization, provides background material, and early basics while Part II focuses on heuristic methods (Genetic Algorithms and Nelder-Mead).  Part III presents direct search methods (Generalized Pattern Search and Mesh Adaptive Direct Search) and Part IV focuses on model-based methods (Simplex Gradient and Trust Region).  Part V discusses dealing with constraints, using surrogates, and bi-objective optimization.

End of chapter exercises are included throughout as well as 15 end of chapter projects and over 40 figures.  Benchmarking techniques are also presented in the appendix.
