Jenkins-Traub: How Computers Find Polynomial Roots

Jenkins-Traub algorithm for polynomial zeros in a computer with a historical context and examples including fractals. Recommend some familiarity with Newton's Method or root-finding in general. There are no other videos on YouTube (or anywhere else for that matter) that explain this topic.

You could spend more time on giving an intuition for why the equations for Traub H and G work, plugging examples is nice but it doesn't exactly give that satisfactory feeling of i understand the purpose of every term on this equation. And maybe something minor but when showing fractals at the end of the video, the equations are hard to spot and see on the corner of the screen. But overall a nice video.

Great video!

I think it's a lot for someone to digest that's not an expert on this topic. I feel like many of the equations you really need to spend a lot of time on for it to be clear to a non-expert. It's an ambitious topic.

No graphics and all equations is not very engaging
