Spreadsheets have become popular and effective tools for the dynamic exploration of recursively defined functions, the generalization of solutions to problems, and the visualization of mathematical ideas. This article discusses a spreadsheet model for approximating square roots then extends that model into the intriguing domain of chaos

In this paper, we present a modified sixth order convergent Newton-type method for solving nonlinear equations. It is free from second derivatives, and requires three evaluations of the functions and two evaluations of derivatives per iteration. Hence the efficiency index of the presented method is 1.43097 which is better than that of classical Newton’s method 1.41421. Several results are given to illustrate the advantage and efficiency the algorithm.
