Secant Root Finding Method
Steps of the secant root finding method for a cubic polynomial. The secant method for numerical root finding of the functions consists of the steps , beginning with the two starting values and . The method can converge to a root or diverge.


steps — number of steps to be taken
— coefficients of the cubic polynomial
— starting values
