Complete four new traceable knowledge objects and deepen three existing objects in dependency order on the existing number-system and function foundations.
This is a suggested learning sequence, not a universal logical dependency or a formal proof.

Numerical approximation and error
Extend the existing error object with affine residual versus forward error, propagation, conditioning witnesses and tolerance boundaries.
Gradient vector
Extend fixed standard Euclidean semantics with gradient linearity, negative-gradient inner products, symmetric-quadratic differences and metric boundaries.
Optimization problem
Separate finite neighborhood-local and global minima, strict improvement, attained lower bounds and empty-domain boundaries on the complete feasible structure.
Newton method for root finding
At a qualified point with nonzero derivative, Newton method moves to the tangent-line zero x−f(x)/f_prime(x); convergence requires separate local hypotheses.
Composite trapezoidal quadrature
On a strictly increasing partition, add each subinterval width times its two-endpoint average to approximate the definite integral.
Gradient descent
In fixed Euclidean coordinates, a positive step moves opposite the gradient; descent and convergence still require objective and step-size hypotheses.
Necessary Lagrange multiplier condition for equality constraints
At a regular feasible constrained local extremum, the objective gradient is a linear combination of the constraint gradients.
