Solution
We will investigate three types of extrema: local minima, local maxima saddles. A local minimum is a point on a surface that is the lowest point in its immediate neighborhood. A local maximum is a point on the surface that is the highet point in its immediate neighborhood. A third type of extrema that we will investigate in this activity is the saddle point
