Newton's Method (1 of 2: How does it work?)

[@thetedmang]

Bravo professor. Clear and excellent explanation. This is one of those moments where you find yourself in a high-level math class reviewing the basics and getting a totally fresh perspective from a superior educator. Thanks Mr. Woo.

[@zamdrummer6503]

Am I the only one who gets excited while the professor is explaining?, You're amazing

[@aashsyed1277]

Me too!

[@AnasMijinyawa]

Eddie woo explaining things is just sooooo nice

[@mihirbose1532]

EXACTLY DUDE HAHA

[@porterio2858]

4 years on and still the most impactful video in this field. Keep up the amazing work Edward

I learnt this technique in my college sophomore year, and here this guy is teaching it at an high school. WOW!

[@porterio2858]

a high school*

[@djangoworldwide7925]

Is it computer science though? No way they're learning this material in highschool

[@footage6402]

Absolutely best video on newton's method. The only single one that goes over how that formula was derived. Everyone else just took it for granted and said just use it.

Prof Eddie never fails to excite me about math, was trying to find a good explanation for optimizing using the Newton-Raphson method in ML a now I know it well. Love from India;

[@BetoAlvesRocha]

This guy is amazing! Everytime that I need to look for some Math content and I find out there's a video from Eddie Woo regarding it, I automatically know that I'll have a moment of pleasure learning and understanding everything. Thanks a lot, Eddie!

[@muhammadukkasha5048]

i have never seen such a friendly mathmatics teacher ever , this is insane

[@AJAB491]

The greatest teacher of ever.happy to come here

[@Kaviranghari]

8 years later this video is still helping students

[@ioanahayman]

Phenomenal explanation. Thanks so much!

[@fsunaval142]

A+++++. Please do videos for explaining algorithms also. This is outstanding.

[@AnasMijinyawa]

Yes please

[@amandamoore2868]

I love my calculus professor, but man I wish he would have explained it like this. This makes so much more sense to me now! Thank you!

Holy guacamole fudge balls, your maths teaching 😍😍you’re too smooth with it. How have I just discovered you❤️❤️❤️

[@kirkwatson2234]

lol there's a reason i'm here instead of in class. very enthusiastic! i enjoy it

[@ozzyfromspace]

I hoped you pressed F for respect. Eddie Woo is clearly an exceptional educator... one of the real ones 👏🏽☺️🙌🏽

[@css500elite]

Wow finally someone actually explains that equation!

[@michaelangeloncube1775]

wowwwww who else gets excited when the maths makes so much sense. thank you Eddie Woo

[@michaelbulkley9141]

Thank you Mr. Woo for making these videos! You have helped me tremendously!

[@epvtrinidad]

This guy deserves all of this praise. Great teacher

[@emtechinnovation6508]

Thank you for your wonderful lectures

[@muffledd]

love your teachings man, instantly cleared up the doubts I had. Thank you!

[@Alcatraz471]

"Look ma, no equation!" I love it! XD

[@andreacervantesbonet8052]

best video of this method so far

[@danielmcgrath955]

solid explanation with the triangle bit, thank you!

[@adelmahmoud9570]

Mannnnn, i love the way you explain things

[@okaro6595]

You can do that nicely with a calculator. Enter 2 = and then enter Ans-(Ans^2-3)/(2*Ans) and press = a few times. 1.75, 1.732142857, 1.73205081. 1.732050808 and then it stays the same

[@bluejays440]

Very well explained Professor. I wish many of my 'upper division' mathematics courses had been taught with the clarity and enthusiasm you bring to this subject. Thanks for sharing this

[@senanagayev477]

the best explanation I have ever seen

[@tejas4206]

best explanation by far

[@yong943]

What a wonderful lecture you give us!

[@فاطمةالزهراءعليعبدلله]

Hello, I am an Arab from Iraq. I am studying to explain that you are studying in an excellent manner. I hope that you will translate the rest of the materials. We in Iraq study these materials as well. Thank you for your beautiful explanation.

[@arrowwhiskers]

I love your energy!!!! Thank you for this :D

[@justmath.1533]

You helped me understand bases as well. You are simply amazing.

[@srijanpaul]

Awesome explanation! I was first read about this method in SICP and the wikipedia page fucked me up. Glad this video exists.

[@SanjuMathewK]

You are amazing. Best explanation I've seen on this topic.

[@westinghouseforever]

Great video

can you pls share link to the previous lesson using bisection method in the video desc for comparison. Thanks

[@anitaweasel]

I deeply admire your teaching sir.

[@ЛевМышкин-ъ5к]

[@alexanderwitte9919]

Great explanation

[@tv..6531]

r(2) < a 에서 우변으로 이항하면 0 < a - r(2) 양변 제곱하면 0 < a^2 - 2a*r(2) + 2 2a * r(2) < (a^2 + 2) r(2) < (a^2 + 2) / 2a 끝!!!

[@MathTidbits]

how do you do approximating exponential,logarithmic or trigonometric values using newtons' method when you need to do 2 or more iterations to close in the values desired,without using a scientific calculator or taylor series ?

[@arielfuxman8868]

perhaps a stupid question, but what happens is accidentaly the tangent happens to have a slope of 0? How do algorithm's deal with that?

[@sahdevsingh8858]

You mean the tangent is parallel to x axis, i.e. the curve itself is parallel to the x axis which mean its not any parabolic curve, a straight lin only which is either not cutting the x axis(parallel to x axis) or coinciding with the x axis, hence the solution of that equation or curve would be constant and w.r.t. y axis i.e. somewhat like y=7 or y=0(x-axis) or any other constant.

[@grantmaybe]

Eddie Woo is the man! He's like, a less notable Feynman but for math

[@erastusmurithi6004]

Best teacher ever

[@kp2718]

You guys know where the 1/16 and 1/2 at 11:25 is coming from? I can't the see the function at the beginning.

[@hypercent]

f(x) = x² - 3, f'(x) = 2x x_1 = 1.75 x_2 = x_1 - f(x_1)/f'(x_1)

[@annujolly3024]

great lecture

[@michaelsmith1460]

Is this similar to gradient descent in machine learning? Asking for a friend.

[@irvingsandoval617]

why would tan be the f'(x) that point that they were talking about at the top of the triangle

[@rajeshkumarb6226]

At last I understood what is Newton's Method.

[@mrunankmistry7255]

Fantastic sir!!

[@akhilkhubchandani2632]

very informative

[@thaboquinton1966]

ur brilliant great explanation of wher th formula cmes frm thnx alot

[@manjunathhipparagi8493]

How to calculate initial guesses when not provided?

[@anthonyburke5147]

As a fellow Australian, does anyone know what level of math this is? I have significant gaps in my knowledge and I want to go back and understand the fundamentals of math so I can grasp everything that is happening here.

[@odaysahib5017]

First many thanks But I think that it was the formula should be equal to x+ (fx/f'x)???? Could you please clarify why it x-( fx/f'x) With my respect

[@PonquecitoMortal]

This is AMAAAAAAAAZING

[@felipes.5707]

thanks profesor grimley

[@Agreedtodisagree]

is this a high school course?

[@Aethed]

thank you eddie woo 🙌any wooheads in chat⁉

[@ranam]

Hi I accidentally discovered a formula for finding matrix calculus and I named it the khalam Newton method the method takes the derivative of determinant and it converges very fast I thought it's an discovery if you are intrested we can talk about that

and this is the single most useless and arrogant teacher on KZbin. I am definetely not the one, who was or will search for videos with him.

[@majorrgeek]

Mr Woo is far to over excited to be a good teacher - needs therapy
