    """
    Find a root of a function in an interval.

    Parameters
    ----------
    f : function
        Python function returning a number.  f must be continuous, and f(a) and
        f(b) must have opposite signs.
    a : number
        One end of the bracketing interval [a,b].
    b : number
        The other end of the bracketing interval [a,b].
    xtol : number, optional
        The computed root ``x0`` will satisfy ``np.allclose(x, x0,
        atol=xtol, rtol=rtol)``, where ``x`` is the exact root. The
        parameter must be nonnegative.
    rtol : number, optional
        The computed root ``x0`` will satisfy ``np.allclose(x, x0,
        atol=xtol, rtol=rtol)``, where ``x`` is the exact root. The
        parameter cannot be smaller than its default value of
        ``4*np.finfo(float).eps``.
    maxiter : number, optional
        if convergence is not achieved in maxiter iterations, an error is
        raised.  Must be >= 0.
    args : tuple, optional
        containing extra arguments for the function `f`.
        `f` is called by ``apply(f, (x)+args)``.
    full_output : bool, optional
        If `full_output` is False, the root is returned.  If `full_output` is
        True, the return value is ``(x, r)``, where `x` is the root, and `r` is
        a RootResults object.
    disp : bool, optional
        If True, raise RuntimeError if the algorithm didn't converge.

    Returns
    -------
    x0 : float
        Zero of `f` between `a` and `b`.
    r : RootResults (present if ``full_output = True``)
        Object containing information about the convergence.
        In particular, ``r.converged`` is True if the routine converged.

    fixed_point : scalar fixed-point finder

    Notes
    -----
    Uses [Ridders1979]_ method to find a zero of the function `f` between the
    arguments `a` and `b`. Ridders' method is faster than bisection, but not
    generally as fast as the Brent rountines. [Ridders1979]_ provides the
    classic description and source of the algorithm. A description can also be
    found in any recent edition of Numerical Recipes.

    The routine used here diverges slightly from standard presentations in
    order to be a bit more careful of tolerance.
