Assignment 8: Nonlinear systems

Reading: Faires and Burden Chapter 10.

Due: Thursday 12 November

Big picture: we're going to try to solve a system for which Newton's method works poorly when we are far from the solution. Instead we are going to use steepest descent to get close and then Newton's method near the solution.
