Always open MATLAB first, and then open the .m file.]

• Newton's form for the Interpolation Polynomial
  
  • Read my commentary first!
  • Coef.m
    Find the coefficients for the Interpolation Polynomial.
  • Eval.m
    Evaluates the polynomial for a particular value of t.
• Secant1.m
  The program find the zero of f(x) = x^5 + x^3 + 3  starting with the interval [-1, 1].
  The zero is actually located to the left of x = -1.
• Newton1.m
  This program finds the zero of f(x) = x^3 - 2*x^2 + x - 3  with x_0 = 4.
• Bisect2.m
  Same thing, except we can stop the algorithm for a particular value of epsilon.
• Bisect1.m
  This program calculates sqrt(2) using f(x) = x^2 - 2.
