contents The secant method, as an important approach for solving nonlinear equations, is introduced in nearly all numerical analysis textbooks. However, most textbooks only briefly address the Q-order of convergence of this method, with few providing rigorous mathematical proofs. This paper establishes a rigorous proof for the Q-order of convergence of the secant method and theoretically compares its computational efficiency with that of Newton's method.
