- "Skydiving with the Numerical Methods Toolbox" -- Vic Mansfield
- The Turbo Pascal Numerical Methods Toolbox provides numerous
- methods for finding the roots of a given equation. Using the
- calculation of terminal velocity as an example problem, the
- author uses both the bisection and the Newton-Raphson method of
- solving the same equation, explaining the advantages and
- disadvantages of both methods. Short programs are provided for
- each of the two methods, along with a sidebar explaining how the
- same problem may be solved with Eureka: The Solver, Borland's
- equation solver product.
