Tues 6th Dec – Revision – Numerical Methods

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To Revise all topics in Numerical Methods Chapter

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You Will be able to get full marks on numerical methods questions in C3 exam paper

LESSON:

Section 1 – Sketch / plot the graph to find where routes are:

See where the solution of the equation changes sign

Doesn't Work When:

  1. There is a discontinuity
  2. There are two roots between tow values

Mymaths Lesson

Section 2: rearranging formula and then using an iterative method

Use screen 5 from this MyMthas Lesson
