The document describes solving transcendental equations using the method of successive approximations. It provides examples of applying this method to solve two transcendental equations: (1) f(x)=cos-1/2x+1cos-1/2x+1=0, which converges to a solution of approximately 6.283; and (2) f(x)=ex-3x, which converges to a solution of approximately 0.619. The method iteratively calculates the function value with the updated x value and stops when the error reaches below 0.001%.
