Iteration
Showing a solution lies in an interval by a change of sign, rearranging into the form x = g(x), using an iteration formula (also with xₙ more than once), growth and decay, finding a solution to a given accuracy and checking it…
🧮 ToolIteration: Staircase and Cobweb Diagrams
Explore: type any iteration formula and starting value (or drag x₀ along the axis) and draw its staircase or cobweb diagram one step at a time, with the iterates in a table and on the axis, and in words what happens: converging…
These are the pages for Using iteration to solve equations in the GCSE + AQA Level 2 Further Maths scheme of work, following Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) Higher (1MA1), plus AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics (8365). Open this topic in Mr Wells Maths to see it alongside the rest of the course.
