Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a simple modification of McDougall and Wotherspoon [11] method for approximating the root of univariate function. Our modification is based on the approximating the derivative in the corrector step of the proposed McDougall and Wotherspoon Newton like method using secant method. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
