An introductory lecture on unconstrained optimization within a course on "Optimal and Robust Control" (B3M35ORR, BE3M35ORR) given at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. In the lecture we refresh the fundamental concepts for a minimization of a function of a single real variable with the main motivation to fix the terminology and notation. In the next lecture we are going to consider functions of vector variables and we will also add constraints.
