Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding pseudocode for Newton-Raphson's method specifically tailored for MATLAB programming. Participants share resources and references related to numerical methods, particularly focusing on the Newton-Raphson method and its applications in root-finding.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the availability of pseudocode for Newton-Raphson's method in MATLAB.
  • Another participant mentions their inability to locate the pseudocode but suggests checking the Numerical Recipes website or book for relevant routines.
  • A different participant references having a version of the Newton-Raphson method for polynomials but notes that the code is copyrighted, providing a link to a related book instead.
  • Another participant points to a specific MATLAB code that implements the traditional Newton-Raphson method for finding roots of Legendre polynomials, sharing a link for further exploration.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the availability of the pseudocode, and multiple suggestions and resources are offered without agreement on a definitive source.

Contextual Notes

Some participants reference copyrighted materials, which may limit the sharing of specific code snippets. The discussion also highlights the reliance on external resources for obtaining the desired pseudocode.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for engineering students or professionals seeking to implement numerical methods in MATLAB, particularly those interested in root-finding algorithms.

where could i find the pseudocode for Newton raphson's method according to the MATLAB program??

I've taken this class. If you give me a moment...nope I can't find it. I have a conjugate Graham-Schmidt, but no Newton Raphson. If you have access (or know someone who does) to the Numerical Recipes website or book, I'm sure that there is a routine in there for it.
