zero_brent, a MATLAB code which finds a zero of a scalar function of a scalar variable, by Richard Brent.
The method does not require the use of derivatives, and does not assume that the function is differentiable.

zero_brent is available in a C version and a C++ version and a Fortran77 version and a Fortran90 version and a MATLAB version and an Octave version and a Python version and an R version.
bisection_rc, a MATLAB code which seeks a solution to the equation F(X)=0 using bisection within a user-supplied change of sign interval [A,B]. The procedure is written using reverse communication (RC).
fsolve_test, a MATLAB code which calls fsolve() which seeks the solution x of one or more nonlinear equations f(x)=0.
test_zero, a MATLAB code which defines some test functions for which zeroes can be sought.
zero_itp, a MATLAB code which finds a zero of a scalar function of a scalar variable, starting from a change of sign interval, using the Interpolate/Truncate/Project (ITP) method, which has faster convergence than the bisection method.
zero_laguerre, a MATLAB code which uses Laguerre's method to find the zero of a function. The method needs first and second derivative information. The method almost always works when the function is a polynomial.
zero_muller, a MATLAB code which seeks a root of a nonlinear equation using the Muller method, with complex arithmetic.
zero_rc, a MATLAB code which seeks solutions of a scalar nonlinear equation f(x) = 0, or a system of nonlinear equations, using reverse communication (RC).
