Chapter 2 Overview of an example simulation

For the purpose of this documentation, we will go about the steps one should take to develop a simulation for the Newton-Raphson Method as an example walkthrough.

To have a better understanding of Newton-Raphson Method, here’s a quick lesson on the topic so that everyone is familiar with the fundamental knowledge of what this simulations aims to accomplish.

Objectives

After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Derive the Newton-Raphson method to solve a nonlinear equation.
• Write the algorithm for the Newton-Raphson method to solve a nonlinear equation.
