Hi,
Try to find the unique root of f(x) = x [ 1 + 0.9999*sin(1/x) ]
with Newton's method!

Hi,.
Under what circumstances would I prefer the secant method to Newton's method?
Newton's method converges much faster and the number of function calls seem to be the same (if we assume the derivative is a function call).
