You will learn how to:
- locate approximately a root of an equation, by means of graphical considerations and/or searching for a sign change
- understand the idea of, and use the notation for, a sequence of approximations that converges to a root of an equation
- understand how a given simple iterative formula of the form {x}_{n+1}=F({x}_n) relates to the equation being solved, and use a given iteration, or an iteration based on a given rearrangement of an equation, to determine a root to a prescribed degree of accuracy.
