Lagrange Multiplier

Intuitive

Sometimes you want to maximize something (profit, health, utility, floor space) but subject to a constraint. A Lagrange multiplier is the name for the variable you mess with when running optimization algorithms/functions in order to find that maximum.

Abstract

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.

Why is it interesting?
