Newton's Method

This video explains Newton's Method and provides an example. It also shows how to use the table feature of the graphing calculator to perform the calculations needed for Newton's Method.

Hands down the best explanation of Newtons method.
You sir, are a legend.

Great Video! I watched this for a second teaching of the topic and it was just as clear as my teacher who has been teaching AP Calculus for 50 years. Wonderful job

is there a way to evaluate and print every N[initialGuess] and every N[f[initialGuess] to observe the convergence of the method?

by the only video which is clear, easy and nice to understand. and also has a logic...something very rare in this days. good job man! hope you have your rewards for this !

Thanks so much! This helped a lot, as I was looking specifically for an explanation of the formula used in Newton's Method.

Thank you for making this video. This helped clear up things up.

The actual (positive) root of 2*(x^2) - 3 = 0 is, of course,
x = sqrt(3/2) = 1.22474487...,
which shows your answer of 1.2247 is quite accurate.

I'm curious to know what kind of software you are using....

Thanks very much for posting; your explanation is quite clear.
