About this document

Root Finding Methods Overview by Gary Blake is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document introduces root finding methods, including bracketing methods like the bisection method and regula falsi, as well as open methods. Open methods iteratively find roots by constructing a formula g(x) to predict the root. While open methods may converge quickly, they can also diverge. The Newton-Raphson method uses the slope of the function to predict where the tangent line intersects the x-axis. This results in quadratic convergence, making it faster than fixed point iteration methods, which only
