Optimization (disambiguation)

Optimization is the process of minimizing or maximizing a criteria. Optimization is frequently used in mathematics and computer science.

In computer science, optimization refers to making a process more efficient. The measure of that efficiency is determined by the individual problem, but most optimizations are designed to make a process faster, less resource-intensive, or simpler.

In mathematics, optimization refers to finding the minimum or maximum value of a variable that occurs on a function.
