Bed time again. Catcha later, Bobby.
]]>That I do not know. The whole 60's movement was supposed to be mind altering
through the use of drugs.
Many of the best (and worst) song lyrics were composed by crazy lyricists high on drugs. Is there some sort of parallel here with crazy Newton results?
]]>Do you see those pictures a few posts up? They would not be possible
unless Newton's did not go crazy every once in a while.
The programs on that page use different algorithms than Newton's.

Must you still enter between those two numbers?
Yes. If I enter >=40 or <=33.886744, LB gives a Runtime Error.
This LB program on RosettaCode.org that finds the roots of a function is different from mine, and asks for a range for x (ie, separate minimum and maximum values).
For the polynomial function no upper and lower limits seem to be required, but the result is a couple of decimal places less accurate and it also finds a bogus root.
I found a derivative online (I didn't know how to do them) for the polynomial, but my LB program hangs for some reason. Debugging revealed a couple of things that I tried to iron out, but to no avail. I'll leave it there, though...I'm losing interest with this one.
]]>I am a little partial to the one that drew those pictures. They are amazing.
The HS fractal is the one I like the least. All the rest I think are better but that is up to
you to decide.
Among those, which one is your favorite and which is the second favorite?
]]>Very good! Have fun with it.
