@jiahao It only covers some of your second set of desired features, but this example https://github.com/JuliaLang/Tk.jl/blob/master/examples/manipulate.jl implements RStudio's stripped-down version of Mathematica's manipulate. Implementing 1 would be pretty easy.

It comes from [animal tracks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_track) (with the plural). I'm not wed to the name, or the plural, but I'd hate to change it now only because of it being modestly...

Sure, but let's come up with a good name. It really about recording a log and tracks just seemed okay in the moment. Maybe there is some more widely used...

It isn't out of the question, but I'd like not to have to pull in new dependencies if possible. It might be better to mirror the API. I have a...

See the method on line 662 of find_zero.jl. I think that does what you want. If not, it can be suitably adjusted. On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 5:58 AM...

The furrow function with the default order switches to bisection if possible For Float64, the bisection algorithm ignores xtol. (Though not for big float ). Specifying an order is usually...

Well, because xtol is usually used as a necessary stopping rule, but in this case of Float64 we can stop when we run out of bits to subdivide. The only...

I don't have an objection, as long as the default in this case is `xtol=0.0` for that stopping rule isn't needed in this case. However, you might just consider passing...

added along the way.

This case is an interesting problem. The algorithm is set to stop when the f(x) values get close to 0, but not when subsequent x values get close (as xabstol=zero...
