👉 In mathematics, the term "metropolis" is a concept used in probability theory and statistical inference. It refers to the process of finding local minima or maximums in a function by iteratively changing parameters until one is found. The idea behind this approach is that if you have a function f(x) = 0 for some x, then there must be a point c such that f(c) < 0 and f'(c) > 0. By repeatedly changing the value of c
