Dear all calculus students, This is why you're learning about optimization

The video explores optimization problems, starting with a theoretical ocean scenario where one must find the shortest path back to shore. It then delves into real-world applications, such as facility location and the smallest circle problem. The video also covers optimization in basketball shots and historical cannonball problems, highlighting the importance of algorithms like Dijkstra's for solving complex optimization challenges.
