Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will learn how to use simulation models to improve and optimize systems. To deal with the topics in this chapter, it is necessary that you have a basic knowledge of algebra and mathematical modeling. To work with the Python code in this chapter, you'll need the following files (available on GitHub at the following URL: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Simulation-Modeling-with-Python:
gradient_descent.py
newton_raphson.py
scipy_optimize.py
