ABSTRACT: In this paper, we are going to present a class of nonlinear equation solving methods. Steffensen’s method is a simple method for solving a nonlinear equation. By using Steffensen’s method and by combining this method with it, we obtain a new method. It can be said that this method, due to not using the function derivative, would be a good method for solving the nonlinear equation compared to Newton’s method. Finally, we will see that Newton’s method and Steffensen’s hybrid method both have a two-order convergence.
