Solving Algebraic Equations
---------------------------

Finding the roots of a function - the values where it equates to zero - arises often when solving problems in science and mathematics. Since it is not always possible to find such roots exactly, methods for finding numerical approximations are needed. This week we start to examine such methods and explore their advantages and limitations.

Convergence of Root-Finding Methods
-----------------------------------

We continue our study of root-finding methods, examining the speed with which different methods converge to a solution.
