How can I use NumPy for optimization tasks?

You can use NumPy for optimization by leveraging its array operations and mathematical functions to efficiently solve problems.

Can you give me an example of an optimization problem?

Sure! A common example is minimizing a quadratic function, like f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, using NumPy.

How do I implement that in code?

You can use NumPy's numpy.polyfit to find the coefficients that minimize the error for your quadratic function.

What if I want to optimize a function with constraints?

For constrained optimization, you might want to look into libraries like SciPy, which works well with NumPy.
