DESCRIPTION:
Minimization algorithms on pure Ruby.
FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
Unidimensional:
- Newton-Rahpson (requires first and second derivative)
- Golden Section
- Brent (Port of GSL code)
If you needs speed, use rb-gsl

d.iterate
puts d.x_minimum puts d.f_minimum
REQUIREMENTS:
- Pure Ruby
INSTALL:
sudo gem install minimization
