gollark: If they mean approximately the same things as in the calculus I did, then if the gradient was positive/negative on one side and the same sign on the other it would not be a maximum/minimum but just an inflection point. But if the gradient changes sign, then it can be, and this probably requires a different value to on either side. But I don't really get what they're saying either.
gollark: I think to be a valid maximum/minimum it has to be >/< but *not* equal?
gollark: This is quite complicated. I may need a while.
gollark: I "can" read it "for" you?
gollark: So what would you say your favourite alleged features are and what are the most important unimplemented ones to you?
