Mathematica has a collection of commands that do unconstrained
optimization (FindMinimum and FindMaximum) and solve nonlinear equations
(FindRoot) and nonlinear fitting problems (FindFit). All these functions
work, in general, by doing a search, starting at some initial values and
taking steps that decrease (or for FindMaximum, increase) an objective
or merit function.
