Convex Functions: Theorems and Examples

Description

This lecture covers the theorems related to convex functions, stating that if the second derivative is positive, then the function is convex, and if it is negative, then the function is concave. Examples are provided, such as f(x) = ex being convex on the real numbers and f(x) = ln(x) being concave on the positive real numbers.
