      Lagrange Interpolation Python Code Reference


Newton's Method Notes  

Homework 1 Hint       

Problem 3: Try k=0.64 instead. It would be more convenient for calculation.  

Step 1: find derivative g'(x)

Step 2: solve |g'(x)|<=k for x to find the requirement for x

Step 3: Based on the requirement for x, choose a,b value for [a,b]

Step 4: Use the error estimate result to compute iteration number n.

Problem 2: Refer to Problem 3 on textbook Page 59.
