<p>
      The examples demonstrate how to use the various tools for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm" target="_top">root
      finding</a>.
    </p>
<p>
      We start with the simple cube root function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cbrt</span></code>
      ( C++ standard function name <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/cbrt" target="_top">cbrt</a>)
      showing root finding <a class="link" href="root_finding_examples/cbrt_eg.html#math_toolkit.root_finding_examples.cbrt_eg.cbrt_no_derivatives">without
      derivatives</a>.
    </p>
<p>
      We then show how use of derivatives can improve the speed of convergence.
    </p>
<p>
      (But these examples are only a demonstration and do not try to make the ultimate
      improvements of an 'industrial-strength' implementation, for example, of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cbrt</span></code>, mainly
      by using a better computed initial 'guess' at <a href="../../../../../libs/math/include/boost/math/special_functions/cbrt.hpp" target="_top">cbrt.hpp</a>).
    </p>
<p>
      Then we show how a higher root (<a class="link" href="root_finding_examples/5th_root_eg.html" title="Computing the Fifth Root">fifth
      root</a>) <sup>5</sup>&#8730; can be computed, and in <a href="../../../example/root_finding_n_example.cpp" target="_top">root_finding_n_example.cpp</a>
      a generic method for the <a class="link" href="root_finding_examples/nth_root.html" title="Generalizing to Compute the nth root">nth
      root</a> that constructs the derivatives at compile-time.
    </p>
<p>
      These methods should be applicable to other functions that can be differentiated
      easily.
