In this article, the quasi-Laguerre iteration is established in the spirit of Laguerre`s iteration for solving polynomial f with all real zeros. The new algorithm, which maintains the monotonicity and global convergence of the Laguerre iteration, no longer needs to evaluate f{double_prime}. The ultimate convergence rate is {radical}2 + 1. When applied to approximate the eigenvalues of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix, the algorithm substantially improves the speed of Laguerre`s iteration.
