Title : Global stochastic optimization, how I picked up Haskell for my BSc project.
Abstract : Lighting talk about why I decided to pick up Haskell and R to implement my BSc project.
Optimization is a subject of math where you want to maximize or minimize something (it can be income, expenses, production or emitted energy by particle collision).
Real fun comes when you want to optimize non-linear, discrete functions.
What is my goal ? : To encourage people to pick up FP as a next language, and show them that it's not something difficult.
Beside tell them about Optimization.
