Mathematical programming, also known as mathematical optimization, is a field of mathematics that deals with the optimization of complex systems or processes. It involves the formulation and solution of mathematical models to find the best possible solution to a given problem, subject to certain constraints. Mathematical programming is widely used in various disciplines such as engineering, economics, finance, and operations research to optimize resource allocation, scheduling, production planning, and decision-making. This field uses various mathematical techniques such as linear programming, non-linear programming, integer programming, and dynamic programming to find optimal solutions.
