Abstract
Solving equations is one of the building blocks of many engineering and scientific algorithms. As financial algorithms become more sophisticated, there is a great need to calculate the results of equations in general. These results are frequently used in the analysis of investments and in new trading strategies. It is important not only to be able to solve equations but also to calculate the roots of such equations in an efficient way.
