Sobre métodos numéricos na resolução de equações

Abstract

Many of the preoblems in mathematics and other rlated areas leading to equations of all kinds as algebraic equations, differential and integral. What motivated and motivates mathematicians in the world is the solution of these equations, which is not always an easy task. We present a history on the difficulty of solving equations; these equations are the simplest kind: the polynomial equations. Given the difficulty of finding exact solutions to algebraic equations, we face another problem: to find approximate solutions. Thus we present and discuss four methods to find approximate roots of equations.
