Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm

The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is like a GPS for computers. It helps computers figure out the best way to get to a certain point. It starts off by guessing a route and then it checks that route to make sure it's right. It makes small adjustments to the route to make it better, and it keeps doing this until it finds the very best route.
