Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [1][2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization.

OPTIMIZATION Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
In basic applications, optimization refers to the act or process of making something as good as it can be. In the 21st century, it has seen much use in technical contexts having to do with attaining the best possible functionality, as in "network optimization" and "search engine optimization" (SEO).

Optimization | Definition, Techniques, & Facts | Britannica
Optimization, collection of mathematical principles and methods used for solving quantitative problems. Optimization problems typically have three fundamental elements: a quantity to be maximized or minimized, a collection of variables, and a set of constraints that restrict the variables.

1. WHAT IS OPTIMIZATION? - University of Washington
Optimization problem: Maximizing or minimizing some function relative to some set, often representing a range of choices available in a certain situation. The function allows comparison of the different choices for determining which might be “best.”

Optimization - Math.net
Optimization, within the context of mathematics, refers to the determination of the best result (given the desired constraints) of a set of possible outcomes. We can use the first and second derivative tests to find the global minima and maxima of quantities involved in word problems.

Real-Life Applications of Mathematical Optimization
Mathematical optimization involves the process of maximizing or minimizing a function, often referred to as the objective function, while satisfying a set of constraints. Optimization problems are broadly categorized as continuous or discrete based on the nature of decision variables.

2.8: Optimization - Mathematics LibreTexts
In theory and applications, we often want to maximize or minimize some quantity. An engineer may want to maximize the speed of a new computer or minimize the heat produced by an appliance. A manufacturer may want to maximize profits and market share or minimize waste.
