You Can also press the Thanks YouTube Dollar button In this C++ numerical computing tutorial, we explain how to implement from scratch a simple Newton method (Newton-Raphson method) for numerically solving nonlinear algebraic equations. Motivation: In its more complex form, the Newton method serves as the basis of a number of optimization algorithms. For example, to solve a nonlinear model predictive control problem for quadrotors, robots, or UAVs, you would most likely use an algorithm whose idea is similar to the Newton method. The same thing applies to other engineering fields as well as to finance. By first learning how to implement a “simple” Newton method, you will have a solid base for understanding how to implement optimization methods.
