End of root finding techniques

I am now done with root finding techniques. The sections covered so far are
• Types of errors in numerical computation (1.8) (0.4-0.5)
• Root finding methods for nonlinear equations (8.1-8.2) (1.1-1.6).
I will be posting some review questions as I go along with the lectures. I also strongly encourage to try out the programs provided in the textbook by Grasselli \& Pelinovsky to get more exposure to the techniques I discussed in my lectures. Try the program which solves for multiple roots using Newton's method and see whether you can get quadratic convergence!.
