      <abstract>
        <p>In single variable situations, the traditional Newton’s approaches are the most popular. The new secant approach is based on the 2nd order Taylor expansion, which eliminates the necessity to compute the second derivative. Numerical tests have shown that the new secant approach is both numerical and effective when compared to the existing Newton method (N-method). </p>
