yes, this is really not so much an optimization problem as it is a 
vectorization problem.
I am trying to avoid
1) Evaluate f over and over and find the maximum in the first column. 
Store solution 1.
2) Evaluate f over and over and find the max in the second column. Store 
solution 2.
Rinse, Repeat
