The Problem: We want to programmatically find the minimum value of the following simple function \[ f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 + 3 \tag{1} \] We already know the answer to this, \(\text{min}(f(x,y)) = ...
The Problem: We have a simple nested sum problem (aka cumulative sum): \[ \sum\limits_{a_i=0}^{a}\sum\limits_{b_i=0}^{b}\sum\limits_{c_i=0}^{c}\sum\limits_{d_i=0}^{d}\sum\limits_{e_i=0}^{e}\sum\lim...
