Hello, and thank you for your response. While I agree that the behaviour of the function certainly complies with the specifications listed in its description, I think everyone would agree that it would be better if it did give all of the roots in a given interval. Would you happen to know anything about the difference between the alg Mathematica uses vs the alg Sage uses that lets Mathematica find the root without making the interval so precise?
Hello, I don't agree. There might be infinitely many roots (just take the function x * sin(1/x) in the interval [-1,1]). There is a slight difference between root *isolation* and root *approximation*. Since you are not providing the Mathematica code you are using it is hard to tell anyway.
