Brief description of four methods for finding a solution to an equation of the form f(x) = 0.

Definition, with an applet for applying the method and a discussion of the benefits and disadvantages of this method.

Definition of this modification to Newton's Method that does not require calculation of the derivative at each step of the method.

Definition of an alternative to Newton's Method, including a discussion of this method's advantages and drawbacks.

Definition of another alternative to Newton's Method, in which intervals are split in half until a solution is reached once the endpoints of the interval have opposite signs.

Applet which shows the application of Newton's Method to find a numerical solution to a specified function.
