Newton's Method Animation

Uses Newton's method to calculate a root to a polynomial function.

You are now following this Submission

Calculates the root to a polynomial function using Newton's method. The root at each iteration is plotted against the graph of the original function.

Feel free to try different functions (plotting parameters may need to be changed). Doesn't work for 0 starting value.

Enjoy :)
