This paper introduces and describes a novel software tool to analyze and solve optimization problems. This tool allows the plotting of several functions simultaneously, navigates through them, and finds the critical points with several numerical methods. Depending on the problem the user can choose a context in two or three dimensions and can also select the more convenient method to solve a specific problem. Moreover, the parameters modification in a particular method is transparent and clear; the goal of this software is to simplify the work of students, engineers and researchers, working on a graphical and interactive environment, on a completely intuitive user interface.
