- Interval Halving (Bisection). Describes a method that is very simple and foolproof but is not very efficient. We examine how the error decreases as the method continues.
- Linear Interpolation Methods. Tells how approximating the function in the vicinity of the root with a straight line can find a root more efficiently. It has a better "rate of convergence".
- Newton-Raphson Method. Explains a still more efficient method that is very widely used but there are pitfalls that you should know about. Complex roots can be found if complex arithmetic is employed.
