Iterative methods for roots of polynomials

We describe iterative methods for polynomial zero finding and, specifically, the Laguerre method and how it is used in the NAG subroutine C02AFF. We also investigate a bug that has been in this subroutine for ten years. In chapter two, we give a brief survey of some zero finding methods. These inclu...
