    @TienChihMath @algorithmachine @CheckItProblems Generally, I write CheckIt problems to mirror the way a student would solve them. For optimization, I think we use cubics with one critical point inside the interval and one outside. Then we just check the endpoints and critical point inside the interval.

      @TienChihMath @algorithmachine @CheckItProblems Even for Euler's method in diff eq, I wrote my own algorithm to mirror what students would do by hand, rather than rely on the built in numerical method.
