%BISECT   The bisection method is used to locate a root.
% Sample calls
%   [c,yc,err] = bisect('f',a,b,delta)

% Inputs
%   f       name of the function
%   a       left endpoint
%   b       right endpoint
%   delta   convergence tolerance
% Return
%   c       solution: the root
%   yc      solution: the function value
%   err     error estimate in c
%   P       History vector of the iterations
