Playful Explorations Related to Dynamical Systems
How would you approximate the square root of some random positive number? Start by guessing!
We will develop an algorithm, perhaps the exact one the Babylonians are credited for, and then explore iterative maps, Newton’s method, fixed points and an existence theorem.
This presentation is based on the first chapter of Dynamical Systems by Shlomo Sternberg (2010, Dover).
