# Intro to Numerical Methods

In this chapter we discuss MATLABs numerical algorithms to solve system of equations numerically and to optimize target functions with and without constraints.

We first discuss how to use MATLABs built-in numerical optimization algorithms to optimize target functions with and without constraints.
