Fixed Point Iteration Method followup video answering your frequently asked questions like "How do you pick a starting point?" and "How do you use the convergence test without the root?" Example code can be found at github.com/osveliz/numerical-veliz specifically in the programs for Steffensen's and Wegstein's Methods.
Chapters
0:00 Intro
0:14 Why not x = x^2 -1?
1:08 Where did 1.618 come from?
1:29 How do you pick a starting point?
2:04 How do you find the other root?
3:24 Use the Convergence Test without the root? Which root do you use in the test?
4:22 On the Matter of Convergence
5:04 Thank You
