This is the first numerical problem I ever did. It demonstrates the
power of computers:
Enter lots of data on calorie & nutritive content of foods. Instruct the
thing to maximize a function describing nutritive content, with a minimum
level of each component, for fixed caloric content. The results are that
one should eat each day:
1/2 chicken
1 egg
1 glass of skim milk
27 heads of lettuce.
