This web app was made for my AP Calculus class. It computes and visualizes on a graph how Newton's method works.
Newton's method is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.
Built with HTML5, CSS, and vanilla Javascript. Math is LaTexed for your viewing pleasure!
Enter a real-valued function, a starting point, and the accuracy (used to stop the algorithm). Press enter, and scroll down to see the magic:
