Function Optimizations: How and Why

bAnd now it's time to have some fun. We are going to develop a very powerful, three-dimensional application that you won't find anywhere else. This application will allow you to visualize how individual functions optimize over time, with a two and three-dimensional graphic of each. The source code for this application is located in the instructions given for access of the book's source code. This application will be very unique in that we will use a mixture of open source and third-party controls to create an unbelievably powerful application. Open source doesn't handle everything all the time, and for those of you serious about graphics I wanted to expose you to some controls aside from the open source standards such as ZedGraph, Microsoft Charting Controls, and others. As you will see in a moment, the difference is astounding...
