Thinking Like a Mathematician
Newton's Method, also known as the Newton-Raphson method, is an iterative numerical technique used to find successively better approximations to the roots (or zeros) of a real-valued function. This method relies on the concept of derivatives to create a linear approximation of the function at a given point, allowing for quick convergence to the actual root. It is particularly effective for functions where the derivative is easily calculated and is widely used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and finance.
