This video contains a lecture on Fixed-Point methods, a way to numerically solve nonlinear equations. This lecture was generated for Chemical Engineering 263 (Undergraduate Numerical Tools) at Brigham Young University.
In the video I cover:
I. General Concepts about Nonlinear Equations (00:46)
II. General Concepts about Fixed-Point Methods (16:43)
A. Picard's Method (27:33)
B. Newton's Method (29:39)
Videos related to this example include:
