Newton’s Method: A Computer Project Newton’s Method is used to find the root of an equation provided that the function f[x] is equal to zero. Newton Method is an equation created before the days of calculators and was used to find approximate roots to numbers. The roots of the function are where the function crosses the x axis. The basic principle behind Newton’s Method is that the root can be found by subtracting the function divided by its derivative from the initial guess of the

Reasons vs. Causes • Reasons tell us why we ought to believe (do) something. Causes tell us why we in fact do believe (do something). • Reasons are normative‚ causes are factual. • Reasons justify‚ causes explain. (Caution: the terms here are imprecise‚ and we use terms such as ‘explanation’ or ‘reason’ in different ways than just outlined.) Example. Suppose I say: “I believe that there are no triangles.” You say “Why do you believe that?” You can be either asking for the cause of my belief

Interpreting Your Data Plots Although basic trends in your data can sometimes be estimated by simply looking at the data points on your scatter plots‚ quantitative measures of the effects you are studying can only be determined by fitting a curve to your data. Curve fitting involves producing a statistically derived best-fit line of data points on the graph; not a hand-drawn or estimated line connecting data points. Once you have plotted your data‚ a Plot # tab will appear at the top of the

In soccer‚ the length of the ball in air when it is kicked is the hang time. Air resistance or adding a curve to the ball will increase its hang time. Hang time can be calculated by H= 1/2 g(gravitational acceleration)times t(time) times 1/2. As the player kicks the ball with the inside of his foot he creates a curve on the ball and increases hang time due to air resistance acting on it. Kicking the ball straight will have a low hang time and just keep it low to the ground. The higher the ball is
