Secant

METHOD OF QUADRATIC INTERPOLATION

Which is commonly called the secant formula. Remark 2.1. Letting x k 1!x k in (2.7), and assuming that f00(x k) exists, (2.7) becomes: x k+1 = x k k f0 f00 k But this is precisely the iteration de ned by Newton’s method. This motivates calling (2.7) the secant method, because it is just Newton’s method with the secant approximation of f00(x ...
