scipy.optimize.newton gives TypeError: ufunc 'isfinite' not supported
Here is the code
import scipy.optimize
f(x) = x^2 - 4*sin(x)
fp(x) = diff(f(x),x)
scipy.optimize.newton(f,1.5,fp)
and get type error
TypeError: ufunc 'isfinite' not supported for the input types, and the inputs could not be safely coerced to any supported types according to the casting rule ''safe''
How to solve this error?
Some other information:
Run in Sagemath 9.4 on Cocalc.com
This code from the book "Numerical Analysis Using Sage by George A. Anastassiou, Razvan A. Mezei" which use "Sage Version 6.3, Release Date: 2014-08-10". Here, I edited the origin code (removing comment, and print command), the original code is:
#import the following library
import scipy.optimize
#the function f(x) from our problem
f(x) = x^2-4*sin(x)
#compute the derivative of f
fp(x)=diff(f(x),x)
#call the Newton’s method and output the result
print "solution = " , scipy.optimize.newton(f, 1.5, fp)
An extra question, is this code work on the old version of Sage in the above book, i.e. "Sage Version 6.3, Release Date: 2014-08-10"?
Welcome to Ask Sage! Thank you for your question.
You can also define Python function to the same effect :
