OPTIMIZATION;Recall, when determining the root, we were seeking x where f(x) = 0;With optimization, however we are seeking f (x) = 0;The maximum occurs when f (x)0;The minimum occurs when f (x)0;Optimization;Examples of Optimization Problems;Methods Presented;Specific Study Objectives;Be able to distinguish between linear and nonlinear optimization, and between constrained and unconstrained problems Be able to define the golden ratio and understand how it makes 1-D optimization efficient Be able to solve a 2-D linear programming problem graphically;Mathematical Background;Mathematical Backgro
