Description

The exFinder web application calculates and visualizes interactively the extreme values of multivariate functions:

It is based mathematically on SymPy and NumPy and graphically on Jupyter Notebook, Plotly and Voila. It has step by step features, based on finding and characterizing stationary points by using the gradient and the Hessian, e.g. [Alt, 2002].

The exFinder project is listed in the Voila Gallery.
