Ridders' method
In numerical analysis, Ridders' method is a root-finding algorithm based on the false position method and the use of an exponential function to successively approximate a root of a continuous function . The method is due to C. Ridders.

Ridders' method is simpler than Muller's method or Brent's method but with similar performance.  The formula below converges quadratically when the function is well-behaved, which implies that the number of additional significant digits found at each step approximately doubles; but the function has to be evaluated twice for each step, so the overall order of convergence of the method with respect to function evaluations rather than with respect to number of iterates is . If the function is not well-behaved, the root remains bracketed and the length of the bracketing interval at least halves on each iteration, so convergence is guaranteed.

Regula falsi
In mathematics, the regula falsi, method of false position, or false position method refers to a family of algorithms used to solve linear equations and smooth nonlinear equations for a single unknown value.
In its oldest known examples found in cuneiform and hieroglyphic writings, the method replaces simple trial and error with proportional correction of an initial guess.  In modern usage, the method relies on linear interpolation based on two different guesses.

Gabura
Gabura is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arctomiaceae. These lichens form low-growing patches that range from thin, crust-like films to small, crumpled cushions, appearing dark olive-green to almost black when dry but swelling like a sponge and becoming softer when wet. They partner with blue-green algae called Nostoc and grow on tree bark or soil, often among mosses, reproducing through tiny disc-shaped fruiting bodies that contain long, multi-celled ascospores.

In overall morphology, the Arctomiaceae combine features that are otherwise uncommon together within the Ostropomycetidae: a consistent association with cyanobacterial genus Nostoc, gelatinous thalli, and fruiting bodies that develop openly rather than being enclosed.
