I'm taking a numerical analysis class (using c++) and one of the assignments I have is to implement the secant method for a simple polynomial (x-x^(1/3) -2). Using this recursive method xk+1 = [f(xk)*(xk-xk-1)]/[f(xk)-f(xk-1)] Simple enough, but part b of this question requires that a number Em (being defined as …

I wrote a simple program that sums the square of integers m -> n. If sum is declared as [B]double[/B] it gives something like 4.16..x10^10 for integers 1 -5000. However, if sum is declared as an [B]int, [/B]for the same range it reports -1270505460. Obviously this has something to do …

I'm using the latest VS C++ express edition for a basic intro to c++ class that is largely focused on numerical applications. Anywho, for whatever reason, I'm getting strange behavior from scanf("%c",&whatever). The program is supposed to use switch to perform some operations on input integers, but way before I …
