Proving Newton's forward difference interpolation formula
in
General Math
.
Say, $$y_n (x) = a_0 + a_1(x -x_0) + a_2(x-x_1)(x - x_0) + ... +a_n(x-x_0)(x-x_1)...(x-x_{n-1})$$ Now, $$y_0(x_0) = a_0$$ $$y_1(x_1) =...

I was said that setting y equal to 0 is equivalent to setting ##z=\overline z## as done here. (see the lower half of the page) But it...

Calculus

I am given, $$u = e^{-x} (x sin y - y cos y)$$ and asked to find v such that, $$f(z) = u + iv$$. My book solves these problems and the...

Why fixed point iteration of ##x^3 = 1-x^2## doesn't converge when ##x_0= 0##

Or perhaps, i made mistake in my code: import math as mp def g(x): return (1-x**2)**(1/3) def pg(x): return...

Yes, but we only need ##\neq 1.## It doesn't matter if the function decreases or increases, it just may not be stable (plus the other...

$$x = 3/2 + (cosx)/2$$ here, if you assume $$x_0=0$$, then the derivative becomes 0. Yet, it converges!
