The regula falsi method or the false position method is a classical root finding algorithm that combines the feature of the bisection method and the secant method. The author proposes an improvement of the regula falsi method to accelerate the convergence of these methods from quadratic to cubic. A convergence theorem for establishing the cubic convergence of both the sequence of diameters to the root is given. Numerical examples are given to establish the effectiveness of the cubically convergent method. The roots are compared with the several root finding methods; particularly the more important Newton method. The initial guess in Newton's method should be close to the root, however, the extreme point is considered which makes the result either more divergent or it takes a large number of iterations for convergence. Thus the comparison is not appropriate.
