Root Finding

root finding, Bisection method.

In this project we studied root finding using bisection, newton and secant method. This will be done by evaluating the ideal gas equation of pv = nrt. The aim is to observe the speed with which each algorithm evaluates this equation. We will use an estimated initial volume to approximate the value of the function given, as well as calculate the error between the actual r and the computed root. Finally we will observe the rate at which the error converges to zero and thus with each iteration, we get closer to the true value r.
