## Abstract

> This paper presents a convergence study of fixed-step gradient descent on a convex quadratic, framed as the computational exemplar of the Research Project Template (https://github.com/docxology/template). The implementation lives in projects/templates/template_code_project/src/optimizer.py; experiments and figures are orchestrated by projects/templates/template_code_project/scripts/optimization_an...
