Newton's Method

On this page, you can graphically display iterations of Newton's method as it tries to solve f(x) = 0 for several initial guesses at once. A "featured" initial guess is also highlighted.

If the absolute value of f'(x) is less than the value of delta, no iteration is taken.

Notes on Mathematica

  • f(x) = :
  • Left endpoint:
  • Right endpoint:
  • Mesh size:
  • Featured intitial value:
  • Number of iterations:
  • Display mode:
    • Show the interesting part
    • Show everything
  • Show list of final iterations:
    • No
    • Yes
  • Delta (tolarance for small f'(x)):
