Abstract
This chapter presents some useful numerical techniques for finding extrema of unconstrained and constrained functions that depend on several static variables. In order to simplify the discussion, the algorithms presented below focus on minimization problems. However, it is clear that, with slight modification, all the techniques can be extended to maximization problems.
