Abstract
The simplest functions with which to begin a study of non-linear optimization methods are those with a single independent variable. These may be termed univariate functions as opposed to multivariate functions which have two or more variables. Although the minimization of univariate functions is in itself of some practical importance, the main area of application for these techniques is as a subproblem of multivariate minimization.
