Maxima and minima

In mathematical analysis, the maxima and minima (the respective plurals of maximum and minimum) of a function, known collectively as extrema (the plural of extremum), are the largest and smallest value of the function, either within a given range (the local or relative extrema), or on the entire domain (the global or absolute extrema). Pierre de Fermat was one of the first mathematicians to propose a general technique, adequality, for finding the maxima and minima of functions. As defined in set theory, the maximum and minimum of a set are the greatest and least elements in the set, respectively. Unbounded infinite sets, such as the set of real numbers, have no minimum or maximum. (Wikipedia).

Calculus: Maxima and Minima, Part 1

This is the first of three videos covering the material in Briggs/Cochran Calculus, Section 4.1: Maxima and Minima. In this video, we discuss absolute maximum and absolute minimum values, and how to locate them from a graph.

Finding Local Maxima and Minima by Differentiation

What else is differentiation good for? Well if we are looking at the graph of a function, differentiation makes it super easy to find where any local maxima and minima occur. This act in itself has many applications, but before we learn those, let's just learn how to find the maxima and mi

Critical points of functions

Free ebook http://tinyurl.com/EngMathYT We discuss extreme values and critical points of functions of two variables and show how to calculate them. Plenty of examples are presented. Such ideas are important in max/min problems and optimization.

Max / min on closed, bounded sets

Free ebook http://tinyurl.com/EngMathYT A lecture that discusses extreme values (maxima and minima) for functions of two variables on a closed and bounded set. The ideas rely on the fact that every continuous function must achieve a maximum value and a minimum value on such a set. In the
