a maximum-likelihood estimate is often defined to be a zero of the derivative of the likelihood function with respect to the parameter
And the equation.
I don’t see how it’s different than the mode. Even the graphs show it as being the same: 1 2.

Think about a bimodal distribution, for example. But in any case, we’re talking about M-estimates, weren’t we?
