Programming Python SciPy optimization

Differentiating and setting the result to zero solves textbook optimization. With several variables, constraints, or a function without a tractable derivative, that calculation breaks down. We will see minimize, SLSQP and bounds from scipy.optimize, local minima, and global search with differential_evolution.
