This lecture introduces the Newton's method for finding zeros of functions through fixed point iteration. It covers the geometric approach for solving nonlinear equations, the Picard method, and the convergence analysis of Newton's method. The lecture also discusses the calculation errors in numerical methods and the convergence properties of iterative approaches.
