What is difference between maxima (or minima) and global maxima (or minima)? I am unable to understand meaning of global maxima (and minima). Are they the same as maxima and minima?

We denote maxima or minima as either global or local. Simply writing maxima or minima is confusing and are taken to be the global ones by convention.

A maximum or minimum is said to be _local_ if it is the largest or smallest value of the function, respectively, within **a given range**.

However, a maximum or minimum is said to be _global_ if it is the largest or smallest value of the function, respectively, on the **entire domain of a function**.

The image shows it clearly.
