Project 3: Cost Function Minimizer

Scientific Computing

Builds on these lessons

Current Task

scipy.optimize.minimize() searches for the input that minimizes a function you provide — the foundation of SciPy's optimization tools.

Task: minimize a simple cost function and print the result's x value.

index.py

from scipy.optimize import minimize

def cost(x):
    return (x[0] - 3) ** 2

result = minimize(cost, x0=[0])
print(result.x)

* Hint: Correct characters turn green, incorrect ones turn red.
