    Several tools are provided to aid finding minima and roots of functions.
  </p>
<p>
    Some <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_noderiv.html" title="Root Finding Without Derivatives">root-finding without derivatives</a>
    methods are <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_noderiv/bisect.html" title="Bisection">bisection</a>,
    <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_noderiv/bracket_solve.html" title="Bracket and Solve Root">bracket and solve</a>,
    including use of <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_noderiv/TOMS748.html" title="Algorithm TOMS 748: Alefeld, Potra and Shi: Enclosing zeros of continuous functions">TOMS 748
    algorithm</a>.
  </p>
<p>
    For <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_deriv.html" title="Root Finding With Derivatives: Newton-Raphson, Halley &amp; Schr&#246;der">root-finding with derivatives</a>
    the methods of <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_deriv.html#math_toolkit.roots_deriv.newton">Newton-Raphson
    iteration</a>, <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_deriv.html#math_toolkit.roots_deriv.halley">Halley</a>,
    and <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/roots_deriv.html#math_toolkit.roots_deriv.schroder">Schr&#246;der</a> are implemented.
  </p>
<p>
    For locating minima of a function, a <a class="link" href="math_toolkit/brent_minima.html#math_toolkit.brent_minima.example">Brent
    minima finding example</a> is provided.
