static member FindZero : 
        function : Func<float, float> * 
        lowerBound : float *

-> float

Parameters

function Func<Double, Double>
lowerBound Double: The lower bound of the interval that contains the root.
upperBound Double: The upper bound of the interval that contains the root.
tolerance Double (Optional)
maxIterations Int32 (Optional)

Return Value

Double
The best approximation to a zero of targetFunction.

Remarks

Use this method when you have very little information about the location of the zero.

Exceptions

ConvergenceException
