Abstract

An optimal control problem is introduced in this paper, a mathematical model for the behaviour of a lazy student who desires to pass a certain course with the least amount of work. The author solves the problem by fairly elementary methods involving the Cauchy-Schwartz-Buniakowsky inequality.
