Basin: Efficient and Extensible Numerical Optimization in Rust
Basin is a numerical optimization library for the Rust programming language. Numerical optimization is the task of finding the inputs that minimize a function, and it is a fundamental element across the sciences: fitting a model to data, calibrating a simulation, training a machine learning model, or choosing engineering parameters that minimize cost.
