I love this explanation. Do you happen to blog about optimization topics?

  Seconded.

  Ah, sorry no. I'm just interested in AI in general and constrained optimization has been the what I found to be the most general model for solving and giving insights into AI problems or any problems that require "intelligence".

  If you're asking waht I think you're asking, then what you're then looking for is called 'numerical analysis'. Specifically, the grandparent was describing this [1]. Here is an OCW link for a good primer in to various introductory numerical analysis processes for Engineering [2].

    Numerical Analysis is too broad for this topic. The precise category should be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization The hierarchy of topics in this area: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mathematical_optimization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mathematical_optimizat... This is also why Google is paying millions of dollars for a quantum computer. Being able to solve complex optimization problems efficiently almost partially translates to access to higher intelligence. http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2013/05/launching-quantum-artificial.html http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2013/05/launching-quantum...
