Summary

In this chapter, we have mastered two of the most challenging processes in computational mathematics—the search for roots and extrema of functions. You learned about the symbolic and numerical methods to address these problems in several settings, and how to avoid common pitfalls by gathering enough information about the functions.

In the next chapter, we will explore some techniques for solving differential equations.

Francisco Javier Blanco-Silva

I will always be indebted to Bradley J. Lucier and Rodrigo Bañuelos, for being a constant inspiration, for their guidance and teachings. Special thanks to my editors, Sriram Neelakantam, Bharat Patil, Nikhil Potdukhe, and Mohammad Rizvi. Many colleagues have contributed with encouragement and fruitful discussions. In particular, I would like to mention Parsa Bakhtary, Aaron Dutle, Edsel Peña, Pablo Sprechmann, Adam Taylor, and Holly Watson. But the most special thanks go without a doubt to my wife and daughter. Grace's love and smiles alone provided all the motivation, enthusiasm and skills to overcome any difficulties encountered during the pursuit of this book, and everything life threw at me ever since she was born.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
