==Overview==

The Jenkins-Traub algorithm is a three-stage process for calculating the zeros of a polynomial with complex coefficents.

A description can also be found in Ralston and Rabinowitz<ref>Ralston, A. and Rabinowitz, P. (1978), A First Course in Numerical Analysis, 2nd ed., McGraw-Hill, New York.</ref> p. 383.

The algorithm is similar in spirit to the two-stage algorithm studied by Traub;<ref> [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0025-5718(196601)20%3A93%3C113%3AACOGCI%3E2.0.CO%3B2-3 A class of Globally Convergent Iteration Functions for the Solution of Polynomial Equations].<ref> Traub, J.
