Question: Procedure for Aitkin's Method

How do I write a procedure to find a root of f(x)=0 in the vicinity of a given value x0. The procedure should initially use the rearrangement method to produce a linearly convergent sequence of values, and should, when appropriate, switch to Aitkin's Method. The input for the procedure should be the re-arranged function and the velue for x0. The output should be the root and the number of iteration taken. The procedure should check that re-arrangement will converge. This program should do in Maple V Release5.

Thank you for your help.
