The document discusses several numerical methods:
1. The bisection method is used to find the positive root of a function between 2 and 3 iterations.
2. The secant method estimates the root of a function with initial estimates over 3 iterations.
3. Linear regression is used to find the equation of the straight line that best fits a set of tabular points.
4. Fourier approximation expresses a pH variation over time as a summation of cosine and sine terms.
