title: Comparing Root-finding (of a function) algorithms in Python
body: <p>I would like to compare different methods of finding roots of functions in python (like Newton's methods or other simple calc based methods). I don't think I will have too much trouble writing the algorithms</p>
  <p>What would be a good way to make the actual comparison? I read up a little bit about Big-O. Would this be the way to go?</p>
