Project:
Project f(x)=0 , including modeling, solver implementation, application to model equations, analysis and conclusions, presentation.
Goal:
A matlab function implementation of the Bisection algorithm (part of project work) for the solution of an arbitrary algebraic equation f(x)=0, with input arguments f, int and tol, where f is the name of a matlab function file defining y=f(x), int is a given interval containing a root, and tol is a given tolerance for the length of the final interval containing a root, and with output argument int, where int is the final interval containing the root.
Reading:
Recall from Matlab intro II how to use while loops and conditional code (if-elseif-else-end), and from the first ALA Matlab session about how to write functions in Matlab. Also consult your Matlab Handbook on these issues.
