As you all know, I like the Newton-Raphson method. And so, explaining it covers quite a few articles on this website. Still, there is more we can do to explain this method. There is always more. To...
You may have seen my post on the Newton-Raphson method in the style of the King-James version of the Bible. Since that turned out very well, I asked ChatGPT to explain the method again to me, but...
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT quite a bit lately (let's be honest, who hasn't). And at some point, I had the idea to ask ChatGPT to explain the Newton-Raphson method to me. But, as you have...
[mathjax] You understand how the Newton-Raphson method works, but don't know which \(x_0\) to use? I know exactly what you mean. So how do you find the best initial guess for Newton's...
Newton's method for numerically finding roots of an equation is also known as the Newton-Raphson method. Recently, I asked myself how to best explain this interesting numerical algorithm.
Here I...
Newton's method for numerically finding roots of an equation is most easily understood by example. At least, I learn more easily from examples. So, perhaps you do, too.
In this article I've...
