I'll be honest with you - as a designer, I'm not really someone who's into mathematics, but I need to solve one problem that's bugging me a lot. Can you help me to solve it? I can't find the solution in the literature. I would like to see different kinds of approaches and solutions, such that I can master my own kind of solving future problems like this one:
"Use secant method to approximate the (local) maximum of the function with precision of 3 decimal digits": $$f(x)=x^2 \cot{x}, x>0$$,
Thank you!
