Sorry to dissapoint you, but the golden section method is already in standard MATLAB: type "doc fminbnd" in the MATLAB command prompt.

Thanks for comment! I am not disappointed :) I know that this method already exists in matlab but never used it.
The reason why I uploaded it here is that I had university task to implement it on my own, not using ready script, and I thought it might be helpful for somebody else.
