In modern times, optimization occurs in almost all aspects of our lives. All systems with which we come into contact daily (socially, scientifically, economically, etc.) have parameters that require regulation to get the best possible system performance. Some of these problems are relatively easy to solve, others require special effort and algorithms. The purpose of this work is to find the techniques and methods used in optimization algorithms, to present them in simple form and to see their application to real problems. Initially, the techniques and methods are categorized into three basic categories according to the logic they use, and then the most well-known and widespread techniques are presented. Then we pass on the presentation of methods that have been applied to many known problems.
