[ScientiFika] Black magic for transcendental equations

Floor 6 - Fika Area (AlbaNova Main Building)

Have you ever wondered how to solve tan(x)=x ? 

Exact solutions are out of reach,
But an approximation I will teach. 
If you want the asymptotic power,
You have to sacrifice a parameter.
Find a dominant balance
To crack the transcendence.
And always go to the next order!
