Week 19 (5-9/5/2014)

Date5/5/2014 (Monday)
Time7.05 a.m. - 8.15 a.m.
Class6AS
SubjectMathematics T
TopicNumerical methods
Learning AreaThe Newton-Raphson method
Learning OutcomeStudents should be able to use the Newton-Raphson formula of the form
 xn+1 = xn − [f ( xn) ∕ f ' ( xn)] , f ' ( xn) ≠ 0
 to find a root of an equation to a prescribed degree of accuracy  .
ActivitiesWorking out questions no. 2 and 3 (textbook, page 185)
Teaching Aids
  1. STPM Mathematics T (Penerbitan Pelangi, Paper 2)
  2. Newton-Raphson method
  3. Newton's method on wikipedia.com
  4. Newton's method in PDF format 
ReflectionWe managed to discussed only question no. 2; the students found it difficult to find the suitable rearrangement of the equation. Question no. 3 will be discussed during the next class.
