This document describes four numerical methods for finding the root of a function: Newton-Raphson method, bisection method, regula falsi method, and secant method. For each method, it provides the algorithm using the functions f(x) = cos(x) - x*exp(x) defined on the interval (0,1) as an example. The methods iteratively find better approximations of the root until the difference between successive values is less than 0.0001.
