Constrained Optimization

Multivariate calculus from first principles

Often you don't want the lowest point everywhere; you want the lowest point subject to a constraint. Minimize loss while keeping the weight norm bounded; maximize margin while points stay correctly classified. Lagrange multipliers are the standard tool for optimizing along a constraint curve.
