Abstract
This chapter builds a strong foundation in the understanding of the basic concepts and first principles behind how optimization works through problem formulation, and touches on the necessary conditions for minimization and maximization problems and what they mean. The concept of the Lagrangian method is introduced with detailed examples of its application. This chapter also includes examples of simple optimization problems involving only linear functions, which will provide beginner practice in problem formulation.
