The beginning of the modern mathematical theory of nonlinear programming can be dated to 1950, and the second Berkely Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability. Tucker presented a paper at this conference with the title ‘Nonlinear Programming’ in which the Kuhn–Tucker conditions, now known as the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions were proved.
