Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

What is curve fitting and polynomial interpolation
Sandor is trying to identify a linear relationship linking the amount of heat (x) applied in the final hardening stage to the heavy duty steel bolts that his company produces for bridge construction and the strength of those bolts (y). Below is a table showing data for a sample of five of the bolts.   Temperature vs. Strength Index Heat (oF) Strength index 2400 820 1800 600 2000 840 1200 620 2600 920 The slope for the least squares line is .22. The intercept is 320. Compute the "unexplained variation" (SSE).
