Could you rewrite the function definition in terms of x only, leaving b as a constant specified elsewhere..?

Dear All
I have a function of 2 variables. I am trying to find the value of one
variable which minimizes the function while keeping the other fixed. The
minimize function doesn't want to let me keep one fixed.
e.g.
func(x,a):=......
given x=g1 b=g2
m:=minimize(func,x,b)
doesn't work because it tries to minimize across x and b, whereas I want b
to be fixed and I cannot leave b out of the minimze function.
Anybody know of a work around?
Best Regards

Product Reviews |
"Our work ranges from complex medical imaging research to large-scale mapping and diagrams and we need a tool that is able to handle anything we investigate. With Mathcad, we are able to manipulate and analyse our data quickly while at the same time documenting our work, for sharing and publication. We also use it for pilot studies conducted in support of research grant applications. It is an end-to-end tool for research and development."
Dr. Kenneth Castleman, President of Advanced Digital Imaging Research (ADIR), Houston, Texas
"Mathcad is an integral product for my work... With Mathcad, it's easy to disseminate design calculations because the documents look like real math. There's very little I can't do in Mathcad. The main benefits come from the format, which resemble a typed set of calculations. These programs are easier to develop by engineers and easier for others to follow and review since the logic is expressed in a familiar manner. The format is what places Mathcad head and shoulders above other programs of a similar function."
Andre Pavlov, Structural Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation |
