Calculus: Newton's Method (1 of 7) Basics: Roots of Functions

In this video I will explain the basics of Newton's method of finding the roots of a function.

Yes, now my mind is getting closer and closer to understand this method.

This is the best explanation of Newton’s method on YouTube

[jay-elshepherd]

His clarity was mindblowing. I was swept away by how smoothly he went from step to step. Could this be the best math tutoring video I've ever watched?

[surferrosa]

I like the way you explained the reason behind doing all this first and didn't just blast into how to do it like most other videos did. Very helpful. Thanks

So far, I found this video to be the only one which explains Newton's method figuratively. Brilliant! Thank you, Professor!

I come to YouTube to have stuff explained to me. Most youtubers just tell me the same stuff in my textbook that’s didn’t make sense to me. You actually get your hands dirty and explain why the textbook is saying what it is saying!!! Thank you!!!!

this guy is the man! love the bow tie!

[lpsoldier]

sir..I honestly do respect you.from my heart.I was struggling with this topic for like more than a week.and now it seems so easy in 8.45 min.AWESOME!
you make things so simple..
GOD BLESS YOU
thank u sir.☺

What an excellent explanation! Thanks a lot for taking your time to explain the Newton's method in such an eloquent and easy to understand way.

This video is great! I already knew how to use Newton's method to approximate roots of functions, but, although I understood linearization well, I didn't see where the term [F(X)/f(x)], which you clearly showed to be delta x, came from. After this great lesson, I know how to visualize, derive, and utilize Newton's Method easily.

Thanks a lot!

After watching about 10 videos on this subject I finally found one that actually made me understand it, cheers!

This is by far the best explanation (visual and explanatory) of Newton's Method, I found on YT. I understood in 8 mins. what a one hour class couldn't deliver. Thank you.

Very clear explanation and teaching! Excellent! Stumbled on this. I built software in the 1980's-1990's that uses this numerical technique to solve large systems of non-linear equations in very sparse matrices. The equations are grounded in fluid mechanics - energy and mass balance - to model large scale hydraulic systems. The software is still used widely by the world's pipeline utility industry to analyze the hydraulic performance of their networks. The genius behind its implementation is a Civil Engineer, Dr. Michael Stoner, a great mentor and friend. Thought its practical application in a wildly successful commercial enterprise may be of interest.

Salute you, you are one of the best teachers. You know our level, thats why you know how to start with. Carry on!

[johnlapalui]

Best explanation ever, well thanks for the excellent explanation. Ready to continue my study for the exam...:-)

[sanstac]

Thank you! You explained this a thousand times better than the calculus lecture videos in my class!!

[junjun]

and I truly feel respecful for newton now that I'm learning physics and mathmatics myself.
how can one human be so genius that discover so many things. I want to be like him or einstine someday

[bbones]

Thanks for your effort in being so clear!

[upanddown]

Thank you sir！ you give us so many quality, practical and useful lectures.

[Dan-tvsm]

Thanks for the explanation. Very clear and concise.
