Optimization Problems in Calculus

Professor Dave explains optimization problems in calculus, demonstrating their applications in real-world scenarios like maximizing area and minimizing material. He uses examples such as a fencing problem and a cylindrical can problem to illustrate the process of finding maximum and minimum values using derivatives. The video also covers the second derivative test to determine whether a point is a maximum or minimum.
