Maxima & Minima
Maxima and Minima (the respective plurals of maximum and minimum) of a function, known collectively as Extrema (the plural of extremum), are the largest and smallest value of the function, either within a given range (the local or relativeextrema) or on the entire domain of a function (the global or absolute extrema).Pierre de Fermat was one of the first mathematicians to propose a general technique, adequality, for finding the maxima and minima of functions.
