1st lecture

Hello folks,

Today was the 1st lecture to this course. I hope it was fun!. I talked about different errors one can come across while doing numerical calculations which was from Introduction & Review part from the course outline. I also went on talking about root finding methods for non-linear equations and started with bisection method and demonstrated a working code . I should have emphasized that this method works only when the criterion is satisfied and also this method is only for single root. I shall be talking about Secant, Newtons and Fixed Point methods on Friday. See you there!
