Optimization

Optimization problems are where math meets real life—and real pain. One minute you’re finding the maximum area of a fence, the next you’re knee-deep in derivatives wondering why anyone would ever build a box without a lid. The good news? Every problem follows the same storyline: model it, differentiate it, set it to zero, and boom—you’ve found your max or min (hopefully). Once you learn to translate words into equations, these questions go from confusing riddles to satisfying puzzles. Dive into the lessons and videos below, and soon you’ll be optimizing everything in sight—except your sleep schedule.
