Determination of a suitable initial estimate for a root of an equation ƒ(x) = 0 by means of computing the roots of a sequence of related equations is described.

The problem of obtaining starting values for the Newton-Raphson calculation of √x on a digital computer is considered. It is shown that the conventionally used best uniform approximations to √x do not ...
