Root-finding algorithm, an Uncommon card
In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called roots, of a function.

Power 97 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 40 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A root of the function f is a number x such that f = 0.
- As the zeros typically cannot be computed exactly, nor expressed in closed form, root-finding algorithms provide approximations to the zeros.
- The functions considered are typically continuous or, for most algorithms, differentiable.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Root-finding algorithm article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Root-finding algorithm
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
