[R] Is there a bisection method in R?

[Yihui Xie]

Hi Gregory,

I have a function bisection.method() in the animation package, but it
is mainly for demonstration purpose, so it is probably not what you
really want for computation. Anyway, you may take a look at what it
looks like before you decide:

You may play with any univariate function f(x) once you
install.packages('animation').

Regards,
Yihui
