Fixed Point Iteration Instructions

  1. Enter an expression representing the function g(x). Special mathematical functions and constants are available.
  2. Enter the initial value x0
  3. Enter the starting and ending iteration numbers for display. For example if the starting and ending iteration are 10 and 25 then iterations x0 to x25 will be calculated but only iterations x10 to x25 will be displayed.
  4. Click the iterate button
  5. The result will appear in a separate browser window. You can print the results by selecting print from the file menu. If you do another fixed point iteration the new results will overwrite the contents of the result window.
