- Book 1 of 4: The 99-Page AI Lab
Optimization is the quiet engine behind modern AI. It’s what makes learning happen, what turns raw ideas into working systems, and what separates “it runs” from “it performs.” If you’ve ever wondered why gradient descent works, how constraints change the game, or when you should stop chasing derivatives and switch to black-box search—this book gives you a clear, intuition-first path to real understanding.
Part of The 99-Page AI Lab series, Optimization compresses the essentials into a focused, hands-on sprint built for self-learners, busy practitioners, and students who want mastery without textbook bloat. You’ll learn how to think like an optimizer: how to define the knobs you can control, what “better” truly means, how to respect real-world limits, and how to choose an algorithm family that matches the problem in front of you.
Inside you’ll learn:
- What optimization really is (and what you’re actually “minimizing”)
- How to formulate problems clearly: variables, objectives, constraints, and trade-offs
- Gradient-based optimization in practice: learning rates, momentum, tuning, and failure modes
- Convexity and constraints—why they matter and how they show up in real projects
- Stochastic methods and why noise can be a feature, not a bug
- Black-box optimization, metaheuristics, and when they make sense
- The most common pitfalls that derail results—and how to avoid them
- Exercises and studio-style projects that build confidence, then stretch your ability
Written by Professor Seyedali Mirjalili, a widely recognized researcher in optimization and artificial intelligence, this book is designed to be fast to finish, hard to forget, and useful for years as a compact reference you’ll actually return to.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
