This lecture covers the application of Newton's method for finding roots of nonlinear equations. Starting with the basics of the method, students learn how to determine the uniqueness of a root and the order of convergence. The lecture also explores the use of Newton's method as a fixed-point iteration and its interpretation as a second-order method.
