Title: Nonlinear Equations

Book Description: When f(x) is a nonlinear function, there is often no procedure for finding exact solutions to the equation: f(x) = 0. Various methods are explored for finding approximate numerical solutions to the equation in this case. In particular, the author examines and illustrates: the bisection method, the secant method, and Newton's method.
