Numerical Computing: Lab Assignment

This document contains information about using the bi-section method to find the root of equations numerically. It includes the formulas used in the bi-section method, an example of applying the method to find the root of f(x)=x^3-10, and the results from 7 iterations of the method in a table. It also includes a second example of applying the bi-section method to find the root of f(x)=0.4x^2-39 over 10 iterations.
