Implement the following function:
(sqrt n epsilon guess)
n
using Newton's method. That is, with guess
as your
initial approximation, keep computing new approximations by
computing the average of your approximation and n/approximation.
Continue until the difference between the two most recent
approximations is less than epsilon
. I want your
solution to use iterate
and partial
as
discussed in class.You should hand in a printout of a single well-documented file containing all of the code required to run the system. You should also upload your Lisp file. When I receive your printout, I will find your uploaded file and grade your assignment. By default the "ontime-ness" of an assignment is defined by the timestamp on the uploaded file.
Recall that as part of the writing-enhanced nature of this course, I will be carefully evaluating both the functionality of your code as well as its clarity, organization, presentation and style.
