Numerical methods

Numerical methods are a collection of techniques used to solve mathematical problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with exact solutions. These worksheets are filled with information that will improve your skills in numerical methods.

  • NM1 Newton’s method
    Some equations cannot be solved using algebra or other mathematical techniques. In this case we need to use numerical methods. Newton’s method is one such method and allows us to calculate the solution of f(x)=0.
  • NM2 Simpson’s rule
    Some integrals cannot be evaluated in terms of the rules of integration or elementary functions. Simpson’s rule is a numerical method that calculates a numerical value for a definite integral.
  • NM3 The trapezoidal rule
    The trapezoidal rule is a numerical method that calculates a numerical value for a definite integral. Some integrals cannot be evaluated in terms of the rules of integration or elementary functions.
