SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 27, No. 3 (Jun., 1990), pp. 804-822 (19 pages) Interval Newton methods in conjunction with generalized bisection can form the basis of algorithms that find all ...

The bisection method is the simplest of the root finding methods. When given this problem from scratch this is the method that most people come up with. We still have the question of how many times to ...

To compare numeric quantities, humans make use of a 'mental number line' with smaller quantities located to the left of larger ones; it is unclear, however, whether orienting along the number line is ...
