•Can solve using Newton’s method
–Also known as Newton-Raphson
method
–Today’s reading (first four
pages)
•Approach so far does one
iteration of Newton’s method
–Better results are obtained
via more iterations
Improving accuracy
Recall our small motion assumption
This is not exact
•To do
better, we need to add higher order terms back in:
This is a polynomial root finding problem
1D case
