NUMERICAL METHOD INTRODUCTION It is very useful to use Numerical Method to find the roots of an equation that cannot be solved ALGEBRAICALLY. Quadratic equations in the format of can be solved by Quadratic Formula: . However, for polynomial equations, that have highest power more than 2, has to be solved through Trial and Error, which is very hard and tedious to determine their roots. Moreover, some roots of polynomial equations may be not Integer or Large numbers, which make things harder. Therefore NUMERICAL METHOD is developed to help to solve polynomial equations. In P2, we learned that there are two types of Numerical Method: * Change of Sign Method o Decimal Search o Interval Bisection o Linear Interpolation * Fixed Point Iteration o Newton-Raphson Method o Rearrangement Method About Coursework Things have to do for Coursework: * One kind of Change of Sign Method; * Newton-Raphson Method; * Rearrangement Method; * Failures of each methods; * Error Bound of each methods; * Comparison made with...
