Attention is paid to iterative methods for simultaneous determination of polynomial zeros in the spirit of Smale's point estimation theory, introduced in 1986. Some basic concepts and Smale's theory for Newton's method, together with its modifications and higher-order methods, are presented in the first two chapters. The remaining chapters contain the recent author's results on initial conditions guaranteing convergence of a wide class of iterative methods for solving algebraic equations. These conditions are of practical interest since they depend only on available data, the information of a function whose zeros are sought and initial approximations. The convergence approach presented can be applied in designing a package for the simultaneous approximation of polynomial zeros. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Mathematics,$x0075-8434 ;$v1933 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aNumerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14050 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 14$aNumerical Analysis. 676 $a518 686 $a65H05$2msc 700 $aPetkovic$b Miodrag$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$058168 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466538803316 996 $aPoint estimation of root finding methods$9720013 997 $aUNISA
