This is an off shoot of a discussion in sagecell, but it's not really sagecell specific, so here ya go:
"Is there a way to implement something similar to numerical_approx() in python, say with scipy or numpy? My AP Calculus BC students are doing a post AP Exam final project related to solving free response questions from old AP exams using SAGE and also in plain python. For example they are writing their own (numerical) versions of find_root(), diff() and integrate(). I showed them a little bit of python and they wrote their own newton's method, difference quotient and Riemann sum algorithms. I set up an Ubuntu ssh server with python installed for them to use for this purpose. All was going well until they asked me how to write their own n() method. This is where I got stumped."
