"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.
