Newton’s Method
www.math.usm.edu › lambers › mat419Newton’s Method is an iterative method that computes an approximate solution to the system of equations g(x) = 0. The method requires an initial guess x(0) as input. It then computes subsequent iterates x(1), x(2), ::: that, hopefully, will converge to a solution x of g(x) = 0. The idea behind Newton’s Method is to approximate g(x) near the current iterate x(k) by a function g k(x) for which the system of equations g
Calculus I - Newton's Method
tutorial.math.lamar.edu › CalcI › NewtonsMethodMay 26, 2020 · We can now write down the general formula for Newton’s Method. Doing this will often simplify up the work a little so it’s generally not a bad idea to do this. x n + 1 = x n − cos x n − x n − sin x n − 1 x n + 1 = x n − cos x n − x n − sin x n − 1. Let’s now get the first approximation.
