Read through this group for a few weeks and read any code Chuck Falconer,
Keith Thompson, or Richard Heathfield posts.

There are others, but those three are both (almost) always correct and post
very frequently.

Which reminds me - both Bob Stout and Dan Pop seem to have
disappeared from the face of the earth. Does anyone know what
happened to them?

You're welcome to download C sources from the directory below. Most of
the code (but not all) is fairly elementary.

Your first assignment:
Fix the code shown for
Newton-Raphson's method for root finding (C)
at
http://en.literateprograms.org/Newton-Raphson%27s_method_for_root_finding_%28C%29

The shown code can't find the square root
of numbers greater than zero but less than one.
It also can't find the square root of INT_MAX
or numbers close to it.
