In many fields of science and engineering, we face with a problem which needs to optimize a mathematical function. It means we need our function to be maximum or minimum of its values. If our problem is maximization, desired function is called “utility function” or “profit function” and if the problem is minimization, the function is called “cost function” or “loss function”, but in general we could call the function as “objective function”.
