Numerical Analysis: Analyzing Root Finding Algorithms

In this math activity, students examine the uses of false position, Newton’s and Secant methods of finding the root of an equation.

For this math worksheet, students practice analyzing root finding algorithms, Newton-Raphson and secant. They use the examples to master the concepts.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concepts of generalizing root-finding algorithms and fixed point iteration. They also practice using the Fixed Point Theorem.

In this math worksheet, students use fzero to find the roots of the non-linear functions. They also practice finding the root of the polynomial functions.

In this QR algorithm worksheet, students use the QR algorithm to solve an over-determined system of equations. This two-page worksheet contains 11 problems.

In this successive interval activity, students find the approximation of a root, using the Bisection Algorithm. They identify intervals, and use algebraic manipulation to identify functions that have a fixed point.

In this successive approximations instructional activity, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This...

In this math worksheet, students examine the concepts of algorithms and pseudocodes. Then they use the codes on a computer to execute the algorithms.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of orders of convergence for a sequence. They practice finding the different rates of convergence.

In this polynomial worksheet, students find interpolating functions that can be expressed as a linear combination of basis functions. This four-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.
