Installation

Install requirements.txt file into your virtual environment (I use pyenv-virtualenv):

pyenv virtualenv 3.13.2 bench-3.13.2-venv
pyenv local bench-3.13.2-venv

A .python-version file will be created with "bench-3.13.2-venv". If configured correctly with pyenv-virtualenv, your env should be auto-activated when navigating into repo and added to shell. If not, activate youre virtual environment:

pyenv activate bench-3.13.2-venv

You should now see "(bench-3.13.2-venv)" prepended before your prompt (example: (bench-3.13.2-venv) YOUR_PROMPT)

Finally, install repo dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Example of each method

Run example of each method in src/:

python example-usage

Expected output:

Bisection method solution: x = 1.5213871002197266
Fixed point solution: x = 4.493409457909262
Newton's method solution: x = 0.00681932148757599
Secant method solution: x = 0.006819324067985225

Benchmark

Run:

python benchmark.py

Expected output:

running Secant Method on Easy Function ... done
running Newton's Method on Easy Function ... done
running Bisection Method on Easy Function ... done
running Secant Method on Really Hard Function ... done
running Newton's Method on Really Hard Function ... done
running Bisection Method on Really Hard Function ... done
