1 2Several tools are provided to aid finding minima and roots of functions. 3 4Some __root_finding_without_derivatives methods are __bisection, 5__bracket_solve, including use of __root_finding_TOMS748. 6 7For __root_finding_with_derivatives the methods of 8__newton, __halley, and __schroder are implemented. 9 10For locating minima of a function, a __brent_minima_example is provided. 11 12There are several fully-worked __root_finding_examples, including: 13 14* __root_finding_example_cbrt_without_derivatives 15* __root_finding_example_cbrt_with_1_derivative 16* __root_finding_example_cbrt_with_2_derivatives 17 18[include roots_without_derivatives.qbk] 19[include roots.qbk] 20[include root_finding_examples.qbk] 21[include minima.qbk] 22[include root_comparison.qbk] 23 24[/ roots_overview.qbk 25 Copyright 2015 John Maddock and Paul A.
