R Tutorial 15: Root Finding Algorithm - Fixed Point, Newton Raphson, Secant, Bisection Method

This video is going to show some of the root finding algorithm: Fixed Point Iteration, Newton Raphson Method, Secant Method, Bisection Method. Each method has its own pros and cons. Choose the method based on (1) how difficult the f(x) is, (2) good starting points,(3) able to find derivative , and (4) whether the method converges or not. For the same equation, some methods work while other don't. Look for benchmark when selecting the method.
