Secant 2

The document outlines a Mathematica code for finding the approximate root of a user-defined function using the Secant method. It prompts the user for the function, interval limits, tolerance level, and maximum iterations, then iteratively calculates and prints the approximate root. The example provided uses the function x^2 Cos[x] + Sin[x] with specified parameters, showing the results of several iterations.
