    A nonlinear equation \(f(x)=0\) is considered. A second-order parametric Steffensen-like method which is derivative free and only uses two evaluations of the function in one step is suggested for solving this equation. A variant of the Steffensen-like method which is still derivative free and uses four evaluations of the function to achieve cubic convergence is suggested also. A fast Steffensen-like method with super quadratic convergence and a fast variant of the Steffensen-like method with super cubic convergence are proposed. The error equations and asymptotic convergence constants are obtained for the discussed methods. Numerical results and the basins of attraction support the proposed methods. The bibliography contains 13 sources.
