    % The fixed point iteration function is assumed to be input as an % inline function. % This function will calculate and return the fixed point, p, % that makes the expression f(x) = p true to within the desired % tolerance, tol. format compact % This shortens the output. format long % This prints more decimal places. for i = 1: 1000 % get ready ...

  3. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  4. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

    Throughout this article, boldfaced unsubscripted and are used to refer to random vectors, and Roman subscripted and are used to refer to scalar random variables.. If the entries in the column vector = (,, …,) are random variables, each with finite variance and expected value, then the covariance matrix is the matrix whose (,) entry is the covariance [1]: 177 ...

  7. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    Root-finding algorithms are used to solve nonlinear equations (they are so named since a root of a function is an argument for which the function yields zero). If the function is differentiable and the derivative is known, then Newton's method is a popular choice. [16] [17] Linearization is another technique for solving nonlinear equations.

    /// Performs a Karatsuba square root on a `u64`. pub fn u64_isqrt (mut n: u64)-> u64 {if n <= u32:: MAX as u64 {// If `n` fits in a `u32`, let the `u32` function handle it. return u32_isqrt (n as u32) as u64;} else {// The normalization shift satisfies the Karatsuba square root // algorithm precondition "a₃ ≥ b/4" where a₃ is the most ...

  9. Laguerre's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguerre's_method

    If x is a simple root of the polynomial , then Laguerre's method converges cubically whenever the initial guess, , is close enough to the root . On the other hand, when x 1 {\displaystyle \ x_{1}\ } is a multiple root convergence is merely linear, with the penalty of calculating values for the polynomial and its first and second derivatives at ...
