Elementary Optimization,]. Today it finds applications in a myriad of scientific and engineering disciplines. The current chapter briefly surveys material that most students encounter in a good calculus course. This review is intended to showcase the variety of methods used to find the exact solutions of elementary problem

However, painful experience and exotic counterexamples have taught mathematicians to pay attention to details. Fortunately, we can benef

The EM Algorithm,ather than the rule, numerical methods for finding maximum likelihood estimates are of paramount importance. In this chapter we study maximum likelihood estimation by the EM algorithm [25, 88, 93], a special case of the MM algorithm. At the heart of every EM algorithm is some notion of missing data.

,Newton’s Method,wton’s method is the gold standard for speed of convergence and forms the basis of most modern optimization algorithms. Its many variants seek to retain its fast convergence while taming its defects. They all revolve around the core idea of locally approximating the objective function by a strictly
