Book Introduction
If you know the maximum and minimum values ​​of a function, you can easily maximize your company's profits or minimize its losses!
Math optimization made easy with comics

This book allows readers to naturally understand the meaning of optimization formulas (mathematical symbols, calculation formulas, etc.) while watching the cartoon story, and learn practical application through specific examples.
Everyone has probably learned about the maximum and minimum of functions in middle and high school mathematics.
Through this, we know that it is good to maximize profits and minimize losses, and this is optimization.
Optimization is taught in college as a discipline called management science.
The math level starts with the assumption that you know linear algebra, which you learn in the first year of college.
However, if you can only conjure up images of maximum and minimum, you can perform optimization without understanding the complex calculations at all.
This book first provides an overview through comics, and the main text that supplements the comics provides practical examples with minimal formulas, helping readers avoid the perception that they are unfamiliar with mathematical optimization.
Recently, many people have been creating programs for simple mathematical optimization using Python. If you read this book first, you will be able to perform optimization using Python much more flexibly.
