Bisection (397 words) |
 | In classical geometry, the bisection is a simple ruler-and-compass construction, whose possibility depends on the ability to draw circles of equivalent radius and different centers. |
| The segment is bisected by drawing intersecting circles of equal radius, whose centers are the endpoints of the segment. |
| To bisect an angle, one draws a circle whose center is the vertex. |
| Bisection method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (337 words) |
| In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding algorithm which works by repeatedly dividing an interval in half and then selecting the subinterval in which the root exists. |
| The bisection algorithm is then applied to the sub-interval where the sign change occurs, meaning that the bisection algorithm is inherently recursive. |
| The bisection method is less efficient than Newton's method but it is much less prone to odd behavior. |
