Watch this video to learn more about the manual definition of first and second derivatives for solver functions (maximize and minimize) in PTC Mathcad Prime 12.0.0.0:
Description
When evaluating maximize or minimize functions, Engineering Notebook internally calculates approximated versions of the first and second derivatives of the objective function. In PTC Mathcad Prime 12.0.0.0, you can alternatively choose to define the first and second derivatives using a direct formula, which in some cases can lead to faster or more accurate solutions.
