In this work, we present two Newton type iterative methods for finding the solution of nonlinear equations of single variable. One is obtained as variant of McDougall and Wotherspoon method, and another is obtained by amalgamation of Potra and Pta’k method and our newly introduced method. The order of convergence of these methods are 1 + √2 and 3.5615. Some numerical examples are given to compare the performance of these methods with some similar existing methods.
