This lecture covers the bisection method, a numerical technique used to find the root of a continuous function within a given interval. The method involves iteratively narrowing down the interval where the root lies by evaluating the function at its endpoints and selecting the subinterval where the function changes sign. The lecture also discusses the interpretation of the bisection method geometrically and its application in finding the derivative of a function.
