Iterations of Some Algorithms for Unconstrained Local Optimization

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
By moving the starting point with the locator, you can see how three optimization algorithms proceed and how many steps they require to find the minimum of our example function .
