Numerical Root Finding Methods in Python and MATLAB

Numerical root finding is like a detective game for math problems. It helps us find the secret numbers that make equations equal to zero. We use smart computer tricks to get close to these hidden numbers, even when we can't solve the math puzzle directly. Throughout this course, you will dive deep into the fundamental principles and techniques of numerical root finding. We'll start by establishing a solid foundation, ensuring you grasp the underlying mathematical concepts that drive these methods.

As we progress, you will explore a variety of numerical root finding techniques. From the classical Bisection Method to the powerful Newton-Raphson Method and the versatile Secant Method, you'll gain not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills. Implementing these 3 root finding algorithms in Python and MATLAB will equip you to implement these algorithms effectively in real-world scenarios.

What sets this course apart is its emphasis on bridging theory and practice. You won't merely memorize algorithms; you'll understand when and why to use them. Whether you're an aspiring engineer, a data scientist, or a researcher, the ability to solve equations accurately is a valuable asset. By the course's conclusion, you'll possess a toolbox of numerical techniques applicable across diverse domains. You'll be ready to solve real-world engineering problems. This course isn't just about algorithms; it's about empowering you to make informed decisions and find solutions that matter.
