Pure Mathematic 2 Coursework Numerical solution of equations By Michael Pang I am going to show 3 of the numerical methods for solving the equation which cannot be solved algebraically. They are interval estimation, fixed point estimation and Newton-Raphson method. Those of these numerical methods are used when algebraic ones are not available. When you found any equations which cannot be solved algebraically, probably you will draw the graph and see where the roots are. However, the other problem is found that you cannot get all roots accuracy. Actually, the numerical methods cannot find the exactly root but the answers are more accuracy than sketching the graphs. Therefore, we usually provide the answer to 5 or 6 decimal places depending on what the questioner needs. Finally, we check the answer by setting the lower bound and upper bound to see whether it has sign change or not. Even if the three numerical can...

"The apposite use of graphs to supplement the cogent and clear text of the article places this work in an unassailable high category.My memory goes back to a book on "conic sections" (dated in the 1850's) that I purchased when a schoolboy in circa 1938....it had but TWO very poorly drawn figures and to make sense of it one had to figure a vast plenitude of angles,lines and areas all delineated in the text by never-ending capital letters of the alphabet.!!!"
