31. Hi, i am having problems understanding the differences between the secant method and the method of false position. 32. The methods given below for optimization refer to an important subclass of quasi-Newton methods, secant methods. 33. If you don't have a calculus base you can approximate the tangent by finding a secant line. 34. Beyond this point the slope of the secants become progressively smaller as " AP L " declines. 35. For " k " = 1 these two methods are identical : it is the secant method. 36. The "'Lambert conformal conic projection "'is a secant form of this projection exists. 37. Expanding into series of powers and equating coefficients of,, and gives some deep identities for the hyperbolic secant . 38. Where " sech " stands for the hyperbolic secant and " a " is an arbitrary constant. 39. The false position method ( or " regula falsi " ) uses the same formula as the secant method. 40. The following graph shows the function " f " in red and the last secant line in bold blue.
