Bisection Method

Bisection Method to solve nonlinear equations.

You are now following this Submission

The simplest root finding algorithm is the bisection method. The algorithm applies to any continuous function f(x) on an interval [a,b] where the value of the function f(x) changes sign from a to b. The idea is simple: divide the interval in two, a solution must exist within one subinterval, select the subinterval where the sign of f(x) changes and repeat.
