Optimization is the mathematical discipline which is concerned with finding the maxima and minima of functions, possibly subject to constraints.

Optimization is an important tool in making decisions and in analyzing physical systems. In mathematical terms, an optimization problem is the problem of finding the best solution from among the set of all feasible solutions.

Constructing a Model

The first step in the optimization process is constructing an appropriate model; modeling is the process of identifying and expressing in mathematical terms the objective, the variables, and the constraints of the problem.

An objective is a quantitative measure of the performance of the system that we want to minimize or maximize. In manufacturing, we may want to maximize the profits or minimize the cost of production, whereas in fitting experimental data to a model, we may want to minimize the total deviation of the observed data from the predicted data................
