Introduction
• Overview of Numerical Methods:
Numerical methods are mathematical techniques used to solve equations
that cannot be solved analytically. They are vital for solving real-world
problems in engineering, physics, and applied sciences.
• Why a GUI is Useful:
• Simplifies the process of solving equations interactively.
• Reduces manual calculations.
• Enhances visualization and understanding of the methods.
4
Objective
• Purpose of the Project:
• Develop a MATLAB GUI to implement and visualize the following numerical
methods:
• Bisection Method
• Regula Falsi Method
• Secant Method
• Fixed Point Method
• Newton-Raphson Method
• Simplify solving nonlinear equations.
• Provide visual feedback and graphical representation of solutions.

Methods Overview
• Brief Explanation of Each Method:
• Bisection Method:
A numerical method that finds the root of a function by repeatedly halving an
interval and selecting the subinterval in which the root exists. This method
guarantees convergence if the function is continuous.
• Regula Falsi Method:
Also known as the False Position method, it approximates the root of a function
by drawing a straight line between two points on the curve and finding the
intersection of the line with the x-axis.

Methods Overview
• Secant Method:
A root-finding algorithm that uses secant lines (lines connecting two points on the
curve) to approximate the root. It is faster than the bisection method but does not
guarantee convergence.
• Fixed Point Method:
An iterative method for solving equations by rewriting the equation in the form and
iterating using this relationship until convergence is achieved.
• Newton-Raphson Method:
A powerful and efficient root-finding technique that uses the derivative of the
function to find successive approximations to the root. It converges rapidly near the
solution but requires a good initial guess.
