Question

Difference between secant method and false position method

Answer 1

Explanation:

The regula falsi, aka. false position method, is a bracketing algorithm. It iterates through intervals that always contain a root whereas the secant method is basically Newton's method without explicitly computing the derivative at each iteration. The secant is faster but may not converge at all.
