2023 Assignment MAT3641

The document provides instructions for a mathematics assignment involving root-finding algorithms. Students are asked to: 1) Use bisection, Newton's, and secant methods to find the roots of f(x) = x^3 - 3x + 2, producing tables of results for two roots. 2) Produce a table showing iterations of Newton's method finding one of the roots, including additional metrics. 3) Produce a similar table for Newton's method finding the other root. 4) Plot the surface z = sin(xy) over a domain and add labels and a title. The assignment is due on May 8th 2023 and students should upload their code and outputs
