Parthhhhh

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah!

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

sorry my comp keeps crashing i have no clue y

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok so i need help with ALG023.MA

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok so i opened that and then evaluated the notebook

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, sure. They all load for me.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

but when i type in the function then it just goes haywire

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait a sec

Parth (parthkohli):

Works for me well

Parth (parthkohli):

You must type it, then Shift+Enter.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ill give u the function \( \frac{1} {2} + \frac{x^2} {4} -xSin[x]-\frac{1} {2} Cos[2x] \)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok so this is the function and my initial approximation is 1.570796327

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Tolerance is 10^-5

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

and number of iterations is lets say 45

Parth (parthkohli):

Screen or text file?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

screen

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

and then u want 2

Parth (parthkohli):

All approximation, right?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

yup

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah, it does go haywire. I have a reason for it by the way.

Parth (parthkohli):

That's a whole lot number of iterations!

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

suppossed to be only 24 iterrations

Parth (parthkohli):

OK... let's see now

Parth (parthkohli):

I guess that it was too big for the screen, so I saved it in a text file.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ohhh maybe

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, what the hell? That's a big 18 MB. lol

Parth (parthkohli):

You can try to get the output in a text file... maybe.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

maybe we r entering it incorrectly

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah, maybe. =\

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Who else knows mathematica?

Parth (parthkohli):

@robtobey

Parth (parthkohli):

I think that the output is too big for the screen, and therefore it crashes.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ohh maybe

Parth (parthkohli):

@eliassaab

Parth (parthkohli):

Or you sure that's the number of iterations?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

maybe we shld do the tolerance level to 10^-3

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, this time, let's try to get just the answer, not the linear approximations.

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok good idea

Parth (parthkohli):

No answer received. Just says "Newton's Method".

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ugghhh that is stupid :((
