Optimization problems resolution in Mathematics classes

Abstract

Currently there are optimization processes that contribute to the lives of people, as is the case of problems solved with the help of Mathematics. It is the technical way of finding ways to minimize time and, consequently, reduce the costs of processes that need to be done. Mathematics, in its vast field of action, provides an arsenal of optimization processes that enriches and facilitates daily life. In view of this reality, in this work, we present possible applications of some optimization problems, as well as show the resolution of some problems and discuss the possibility of using the problem solving methodology. This work allowed the deepening of the knowledge of this field of Mathematics, and its contributions in several areas of knowledge.
