Numerical Analysis – Root Finding Methods
- You must enroll in this course to access course content.
Root finding methods are typically the first topic in a Numerical Analysis course. They give you a way to solve for roots of an equation without a bunch of tedious hand calculations. In addition, these methods provide a good foundation for figuring out the concept of numerical techniques.
Plus, they can also help you improve your coding skills if you’re a beginner! Talk about a bonus!
There are several methods but these tutorials will cover:
- Bisection Method
- Newton’s Method
MATLAB is used for the coding portion in my course. I just love MATLAB and it really makes implementing these methods super easy!
