function minimization

Hi!

Does anyone of you know a python library to find minima of
multivariable mathematical functions?

I know that in SciPy there is what I need, however I wonder if there is
something lighter without the need to install the whole package.

Thank you a lot,
Stefano

So in the code below, what JS would i need to add to my "myfile.inc" page so that I could guarantee this behavior? <!-- main page --> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript">

I just found out that JavaScript 1.5 (I tested this with Firefox 1.0.7 and Konqueror 3.5) has support not only for standard function definitions, function expressions (lambdas) and Function constructors (these three I knew about), but also conditional function definitions, as described in http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide:Defining_Functions ]. An example: function fun() {

Hello, I have a question about casting a function pointer. Say I want to make a generic module (say some ADT implementation) that requires a function pointer from the 'actual/other modules' that takes arguments of type (void *) because the ADT must be able to deal with any type of data. In my actual code, I will code the function to take arguments of their real types, then when I pass this pointer through an interface function, I...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
