Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore an advanced lecture on extending Newton's method to algebraic curve intersections, focusing on the Fermat curve and Lemniscate of Bernoulli. Learn about Taylor expansions of associated polynomials, visualize tangent planes in three-dimensional space, and understand geometric interpretations. Discover how to iterate and find approximate intersections of curves. This video concludes the first part of the course, setting the stage for discussions on logical weaknesses in modern pure mathematics.
