Core Root finding: bisection and Newton's method Finding where f(x) = 0 to any accuracy, and how fast each method gets there. newton's method on x^2 - 2 from 1 Core Numerical integration: trapezoid and Simpson Approximating an integral from sampled values, with error bounds. integrate e^(-x^2) dx from 0 to 1 Core Interpolation and Taylor approximation Fitting polynomials through points, and approximating functions near a centre. taylor series of e^x Core Floating point and error Why 0.1 + 0.2 ≠ 0.3 on a computer, and how error propagates. 0.1 + 0.2

Most equations have no closed form; numerical methods find answers to as many decimals as you like and, crucially, tell you how wrong they might be. Every iteration here is shown as a step.

사람들이 묻는 질문

Why not just solve exactly?

Most equations have no closed-form solution at all, and many that do are unusable in practice. A numerical method delivers as many correct digits as you need, and a good one tells you how many that is.

Why can Newton's method fail?

If it starts where the tangent is nearly flat it shoots far away; near a repeated root it slows to a crawl; and with several roots it may land on the wrong one. A bracketing method like bisection is slower but cannot fail.
