This document contains instructions for a math laboratory activity involving nonlinear transcendental and polynomial functions. Students are asked to use Excel to find the real root of 3x - Cos(x) - 1 = 0 by the iteration method with a starting value of x0 = 0, and then verify the result using Aitkin's Δ2 Method.
