Numerical Analysis lec-4 Newton Raphson method

Hi, Today we'll learn about Newton-Raphson Method "Newton's Method". this method is for finding successively better approximate solutions to the roots of a function (real valued). so are you ready for this............you will.

Newton's Method:
The Newton's method is one of the most powerful and well known method used for finding a root of f(X) = 0 there are many ways to derive Newton-Raphson method. the simplest way to derive this formula is by using the first two terms in the Taylor series expansion of the form. 
Instead of working with the chord joining points on the graph of y= f(X) as in bisection method and false position methods. Newton's method uses the tangent at one point on the graph of y= f(X) therefor it requires only one instead of two initial guesses.

Suppose X is an initial guesses draw the tangent line at X= X0 and procedure it to meet the X - axis at X = X1
Newton's Method
which shows in picture above. now from right angle triangle 

tanO f(Xo) / ( Xo - X1 )

As we knew that tanO is a slop it means tanO = f ' (Xo)

The root a is given by the point of intersection of the curve y = f(X) and the x-axis if an iterative procedure is being designed to approximate real root a, one simple approach can be to replace the curve by a straight line the intersection of which with the x-axis can easily be found. starting with an arbitrary initial approximation Xo , we then calculate a sequence of iterates, X1, X2, X3,........

Now the question is how to select the direction of the straight line, in Newton Raphson method the direction of the straight line is that of the tangent to the curve at the given point that is why this method is also known as Newton's Method of tangents.

Numerical Analysis lec-3 False Position Method

Hi, today we'll going to learn the second method of numerical analysis the False Position Method out of 40 methods FALSE POSITION METHOD False Position Method is an alternative method and is more efficient then bisection method, it is the oldest method for finding the real root of an equation F( X ) = 0 and is similar to the bisection method. Consider the equation F( X ) = 0 let [ X0 , X1 ] be two different values of X such that  F( X0 ) - F( X1 ) < 0. OR A simple modification of a secant method produces a method which is usually converges. the new method is called regula falsi (False Position) and also Linear interpolation . it needs two initial approximations X0 and X1 so that F( X0 ) F( X1 ) < 0 i.e the two functions must have the opposite signs. The Modified False Position Method In this method the F( X ) value of a stagnant end point is halved if that point has repeated twice or more. the end point that repeats its called a stagnant point, the excepti

Hi, today we'll going to learn about Software requirements, specifications, applications and lots of more let's start with software engineering definition. Software Engineering -Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of   software production form the early stages of system specification through to maintaining   the system after it has gone into use. -The economies of all developed nations are dependent on software. -More and more systems are software controlled software engineering is concerned with   theories, methods and tools for professional software development. -Expenditure on software represents a significant fraction of GNP in all developed countries. - Engineering discipline:  Using appropriate theories and methods to solve problems bearing in mind organizational   and financial constraints. - All aspects of software productions:  Not just technical process of development also project management and the develop
