In this part we will study a new type of optimization problem: that of finding the maximum (or minimum) value of a function w = f(x, y, z) when we are only allowed to consider points (x, y, z) which are constrained to lie on a surface. The technique we will use to solve these problems is called Lagrange multipliers.
