CriticalPoint[expr, aVariable]

Aliases: Crit, Cri
Description: It finds the value of $ aVariable$ which makes the gradient of the expression $ expr$ with respect to the variable $ aVariable$ equal to 0.
Arguments: $ expr$ is an expression containing $ aVariable$. $ aVariable$ is a variable.
Comments / Limitations: Uses the Grad and NCSolve functions. Both Grad and NCSolve are severely limited. Therefore, the CriticalPoint command has a very limited range of applications.
