Abstract

This paper focuses on the construction and implementation of an improved secant method for finding the root of a polynomial. The arithmetic mean in the Marouane’s method was replaced by the geometric mean. The result shows that the method converges compete favorably with other methods in literature and efficient as the two points in the conventional secant methods has been reduced to only one fixed point.
