INTRODUCTION
methods
assume
ever
greater
importance,
especially
in
numbers to simulate mathematical processes, which in turn simulate realworld situations. This implies that there is a purpose behind the computing.
The choice of the particular formula, or algorithm, influences not only the
computing but also how we are to understand the results when they are
obtained. Numerical methods try to meet the need for methods to cope with
the potentially infinite variety of problems that can arise in practice
(Hamming, 1986).
A solution obtained by a numerical method is usually approximate,
that is, it has some error. Even if the initial data are void of errors and all the
arithmetic operations are ideally performed, they yield the solution of the
original problem with some error. A numerical method usually depends on
one or several parameters which may be controlled. Examples of such
parameter include the number of iterations in solving systems of equations
and the number of terms taken into account when summing a series, and
also the step over which the values of the integrand are used in
approximate evaluation of the definite integral (Volkov, 1990).
The application of numerical methods for engineering problems are
important for mathematical modelling of continuum mechanical processes,
development and analysis of numerical algorithms, implementation of
numerical methods into computer codes, adaption and application of

In the secant method, if we take the limit that the two points coincide,
then the function is approximated by a tangent and we get the NewtonRaphson method, where the successive iterates are calculated using the
formula
x i+1 = x i -
