Here are some of the key concepts that we've studied in this lesson:
- The bisection method is an example of a numerical root-finding method.
- Conditionals can be
used to ask Maple to make a choice.
- Loops can be used to ask Maple to
perform repetitions.
- Procedures can be used
to package up sequences of statements into a form that is modular and easy to
use. Compare this with how functions can be used to package up expressions.
