Optimization Problems in Calculus

What good is calculus anyway, what does it have to do with the real world?! Well, a lot, actually. Optimization is a perfect example! If you want to figure out how to maximize your profits or minimize your costs, or if you want to maximize an area or minimize a distance, you are finding the maxima and minima of a function, and that's doing calculus! All we need to know is how to take derivatives and set them equal to zero, so let's go make some money!
