Feedback
Exam 1 feedback:
Problem 5 is meant to be a user defined function. Quite a few of you missed that problem specification.
In Problem 6, the complement of “greater than” is “less than or equal to”, not just “less than”. The while loop statement would serve this problem well.
If you receive a score below 80%, you need to review the materials more! See me if you need additional help.
Homework feedback:
The definition of error for the secant method is NOT the same as that for the bisection method.
For the secant method,
For the bisection method,
Since the secant method makes use of the functional information, it converges much faster than the bisection method.
