Abstract

Numerical methods is a mathematical method in which all solution are only approximation and
not real values yet the solutions can come up faster that the normal ones.It is used in several
fields such as engineering and it can be used to solve plenty of problems some of them
being:solving linear and none linear problems and fiding the roots,fit some points to curve with
good approximation and simple solution,solving partial differencial equations and many more
uses.Kirchhoff rule is widely used in the field of electricity to help solve some problems about
voltage.It is based on two equalities that deals with the current and potential difference in the
lumped element model also known as lumbed parallel model of electrical circuit.In our
project,we are going to use Kirchhoff rule to approximate the angular frequency where we have a
circuit that consists of a resistor ,an inductor and a capacitor that’s why its called RLC circuit.So
after having derived the function of the impedence using Kirchhoff law we are going to use the
false position method and the bisection method to approximate the angular frequency.We also
added a MATLAB program that simulates this whole operation in both false position and
bisection method.
Introduction to numerical methods:

Mathematical models are the central piece of science and engineering.We all know that in math
there are some problems or functions that have a closed clear solution therefore they can be
solved analytically yet there are still some models that can not be solved analytically or it is too
costly to do their solution,yet all functions can be solved computationally even though the
solution may not be precise and accurate but it can be useful.Just as the saying of George E. P.
Box goes:”All models are wrong but some are useful”. Since the statement of Galileo that
everything must be measured has set the world motion, numerical measurements led to the
advancement of physical sciences and laws, and significant engineering product
development.Numerical method is a branch of mathematics where scientist or mathematicians
tend to approximate the solution of a problem due to the complexity of the real solution using
several techniques to estimate a problem and find a solution.

Historical background:

Long before the 20th century where the computers took over and started to solve any formula
given to them,numerical methods depended on hand interpolation applied to data from large
printed tables.The numerical point of view goes back to the earliest mathematical writings where
a tablet from the   Yale Babylonian Collection(YBC 7289) gives a sexagesimal numerical
approximation of the square root of 2, the length of the diagonall in a unit square. Computing the
sides of a triangle in terms of square roots is a basic practical problem, for example
in astronomy, carpentry, and construction.The importance of numerical method was so huge that
many big scientists were preoccupied with it and many importantes rules came out of it including
Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's
method.Large books were produced with formulas and tables of data long ago to facilitate the
computation by hand where someone could calculate 16 decimal places or some more for some
functions.The history of numerical methods date back to Egyptian rhind papyrus (1650 BC).
Then, ancient Greek mathematicians (400 BC), particularly Eudoxus of Cnidus and
Archimedes made many supplementary improvements in numerical methods.Some important
names has used and developed numerical methods over the years including Issac Newton,
Gottfried Leibniz and many more others.
Application of numerical methods:

The application of numerical methods in our real life is crucial and widely used.It is used in
many important fields today like companies for the estimations of some their assets gains or
loss,in gaming to predict the trajectory of a certain line,estimation of ocean currents,modeling
combustion flow in a coal power plant,airflow pattern in the respiratory tract.Libraries or
hospitals even use it to estimate some things that are crucial for our well being such as
thetransport and disposition of chemicals through the body,molecular and cellular mechanisms of
toxicity;in physics like electromagnetics and large scale shockwave physics code development.In
our project we are going to use numerical methods in the field of electricity;we are going to
solve Kirchhoff rule with it to be precise.So we are going to use bisection and false position
method to solve Kirchhoff rule that express impedance having a resistor,capacitor and an

1 1 1 2
inductor parallel by
Z √ (
= 2 + ωC−
R ωL )
, where R , C , and L are given.

Therefore, this report comprehensively explains how bisection and false-position methods are
used to estimate the angular frequency (ω ¿ at a certain given impedance (Z).
