      Loss of significance in subtractions

      Infinite series, error term, alternating series errors

      Round-off errors in iterative algorithms and recurrence
      relations

      Using bisect, fixed point, Newton, and secant methods
      "by hand" (using a calculator)

      Derivation of these methods

      Write a Matlab function for one of bisect, fixed point,
      newton or secant methods
