Optimization is an essential tool for machine learning and a useful skill for any Computer Scientist to have.

This talk aims to highlight one specific optimization algorithm, the Nelder-Mead method, and hopes to demonstrate its usefulness as well as reflect on some of the shortcomings of the algorithm.
