Notebook 13 - Non-Linear Equation Root Finding w/ Newton's Method #22

Open joeegitto22 opened 5 years ago

joeegitto22 commented 5 years ago

The actual math behind Newton's method is not complex at all, but I would definitely spend more time describing the code aspect of everything to students. In this notebook I feel as though there is a lot going on so it is kind of hard to keep-up.

Thanks. As a note to myself. This notebook will have a follow up on adding globally convergent Newton's method (more math) which will pave the way to Gibb's energy minimization (yet more math). Therefore an opportunity for the concepts of plain Newton's method to sink in.
