Steffensen's method is an iterative root-finding technique used to improve the convergence of fixed-point iteration by applying an acceleration process to estimate the roots of nonlinear equations. It enhances the basic fixed-point iteration by using a specific extrapolation approach that leverages function values, leading to a faster convergence rate, especially when the function's derivatives are not readily available.
congrats on reading the definition of Steffensen's Method. now let's actually learn it.
