✦ Synopsis

It is often useful to have a procedure for locating the point where a function of several variables attains its maximum value. Numerous computer programs have been developed to perform this task. However, most of these programs are not suitable for use on a desk calculator as they require more memory space for program storage and numerical data storage than is often available in the limited memory of a desk calculator. A program which locates the maximum of a multivariate function and which is short enough to fit in the memory of a desk calculator is presented here.
