САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

Every day we witness the introduction of technological innovations into our daily lives, which are changing significantly under their influence. In the past, roots were drawn by hand with paper and pencil, then calculators appeared. Today, nobody tries to draw the root by hand anymore. People used to look for important information in encyclopedias and various archives and libraries, but today they turn to Google for every little thing… Using an example from the field of applied mathematics, we want to show how technology is changing the approach to solving relatively complex technical problems. The example presented in this paper is solving complex mathematical problems such as optimization using a method that has only recently become available through the development of technology. Advanced methods for solving optimization problems such as the Brents method or the Limited memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method with boundaries are now partially replaced by the Brute Force method, which is much easier to handle. This example shows that we are constantly adapting to new circumstances and that each generation uses the latest knowledge available, changing the approach to daily practice. Adapting to new circumstances and technologies and abandoning and neglecting old methods (i.e. optimizing the necessary acquired knowledge) leads to the false claim that the new generation does not know and does not want to learn the basic methods.
