Typo: In 6.4.3, there is a comment about "a loop may be the best to go" - which is true, there just isn't a loop in the previous problem...

==Basic Root-Finding Problems==
* Main thing is to look at [[MATLAB:Fzero]] and the different ways of calling it.
* The sign plots are really helpful.
* The last equation has three sign changes but only two roots

== Basic Min/Max Finding Problems==
* Main thing is to look at [[MATLAB:Fminbnd]] and the different ways of calling it.

== Chapra Problem 6.16 ==
* This is a one-parameter search problem.  There is an examples for a two-parameter searches at [[MATLAB:Fzero#One_Parameter]]

== Chapra 6.21 ==
* This simply requires using <code>fzero</code> twice - just be careful on how you initialize <code>fzero</code> and also be careful about units for the angles.

== Chapra 7.19 ==
* The lab handout pretty much walks you through this one.

== Chapra 7.23, 7.24, and 7.25(b/c) ==
* These problems will require [[MATLAB:Fminbnd_and_fminsearch|fminsearch]] to find the extremes, as well as <code>meshgrid</code> and <code>surfc</code> to make the plots; more on that at [[MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces|Plotting Surfaces]]
