Square Roots with Newton's Method
Initializing live version
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Estimate square roots using Newton's method to varying accuracy by controlling the number of iterations and the precision of the estimates. Successively better estimations are shown.
