Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

And yet...

the word "optimise" is not to be found anywhere on the webpage you cite. Nor do any of the math problems presented have anything to do with the concept. The answer to the question "Ten people go to a party. How many different ways can they be seated?" has but one answer. As do the other statistical examples. There's nothing to optimize - just equations to solve.

Let's find where the word is used elsewhere on that website, shall we?

"normally to optimise profit.

I think the rest of us understand what that means in that context. One takes steps to improve profit since there is no "absolute" result or equation to solve.

"The UCAS website is also now fully optimised for mobile phones and tablets...

I think the rest of us understand what that means in this context as well. Since "mobile friendly" is a relative term, it generally means they have adjusted the page content for easier visibility on a small screen.

Do you understand?
