SUMMARY

The discussion centers around solving the equation k/a = tan(a) using MATLAB, specifically through iterative methods. The user is struggling with implementing a fixed point iteration to find the solution for 'a', where 'k' is a constant. The urgency of the project submission adds pressure, highlighting the need for effective coding strategies in MATLAB. Participants emphasize the importance of showing prior attempts to receive constructive feedback.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fixed point iteration methods
  • Familiarity with MATLAB programming
  • Knowledge of trigonometric functions and their properties
  • Basic grasp of numerical analysis concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research MATLAB's built-in functions for numerical methods
  • Learn about convergence criteria for iterative methods
  • Explore examples of fixed point iteration in MATLAB
  • Study the implications of choosing different initial guesses in iterative solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and anyone involved in numerical methods or MATLAB programming, particularly those facing challenges with iterative solutions in mathematical equations.

Homework Statement



Hello, I want to obtain a solution to a, where k is a constant. The formula is:

k/a = tan(a)

I need to write a MATLAB code for this but I have been struggling for hours. And I must send the project to my professor in an hour. :(

Homework Equations



I know that I need to do an iteration but how? I tried doing a fixed point iteration but it didn't work.

The Attempt at a Solution



Very limited so far. I would be so so grateful for any help! Thanks!

You need to show us what you have done so far. We do not do your work for you here.
