The Method
The inverse quadratic interpolation algorithm is defined by the recurrence relation
where fk = f(xk). As can be seen from the recurrence relation, this method requires three initial values, x0, x1 and x2.

Famous quotes containing the word method:
“There is no method but to be very intelligent.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Protestantism has the method of Jesus with His secret too much left out of mind; Catholicism has His secret with His method too much left out of mind; neither has His unerring balance, His intuition, His sweet reasonableness. But both have hold of a great truth, and get from it a great power.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
