Numerical Methods Roots of Equation Chapter One

This document discusses four numerical methods for finding roots of equations: 1. The bisection method, which uses interval halving to find roots. 2. The false position method, which uses linear interpolation to find roots. 3. The fixed point method, which finds roots by iterating a function until a fixed point is reached. 4. The Newton-Raphson method, which iteratively finds better approximations using tangents of the function. Pseudocode is provided for each method.
