Abstract

When analytical solutions are unavailable or difficult to find, numerical methods play an important role in solving linear and nonlinear problems. In this paper, we analyze and compare five numerical approaches typically utilized for solving linear and nonlinear problems arising in Physics, Engineering, Biosciences, etc. These are the Bisection method, Newton-Raphson method, Secant method, Regula-Falsi method, and Fixed-Point Iterative method. The weaknesses and strengths of each of these methods are examined and contrasted in terms of convergence, accuracy, computational efficiency, and applicability to different types of equations. The results of this research will assist academics and practitioners in making informed decisions on how to address algebraic and transcendental problems in their respective disciplines
