Just as a FYI:

Newton's method is shown in the 19C & 55 Math application manuals. The secant method was used in the 67 standard pack.

30-some years ago had a class called Numerical Techniques, we used FORTRAN. The class covered Newton-Raphson, but for the life of me can't remember the book.

Was it "Applied Numerical Methods" by Carnahan, Luther, and Wilkes? This book has a lot of good FORTRAN code. Carnahan was my professor in 1979 at the University of Michigan. I just ran into him at JFK this past June 28 when we were both flying to Nice, France.
