Creating Optimization Algorithm Section?

[grantmwilliams]

Hi, would it be alright to start a section for optimization algorithms? I'd be happy to add a few gradient descent algorithms and a few heuristic algorithms as well. There are a ton of different possibilities people can add :)

Could be cool to implement a number of functions from this group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for_optimization and then we would have something to compare the algorithms with

Sure. It will be a great addition. Go for it 👍

How do you guys feel about ipython notebooks? Like this: https://github.com/grantmwilliams/optimization_talk/blob/master/notebook.ipynb i was thinking for some of the python implementations i could include a folder with a .py file with the code and an ipython notebook showing a visualization of the algorithm on some different problems.

This will be great 😄
