Summary

In this chapter, we have mastered two of the most challenging processes in computational mathematics—the search for roots and extrema of functions. You learned about the symbolic and numerical methods to address these problems in several settings, and how to avoid common pitfalls by gathering enough information about the functions.

In the next chapter, we will explore some techniques for solving differential equations.
