newton's method

[newton's method|newton's method] [newton's method] continues by iteratively refining approximations, using the formula to find successive values that converge toward the root.

Mechanism

newton's method [newton's method] continues by iteratively refining approximations, using the formula to find successive values that converge toward the root.

Effects

newton's method [newton's method] produces a sequence of numbers that converges to a finite value, as demonstrated in Example 4.49 where a function F and an initial guess xq generate such a resulting list.

Examples

newton's method In cases such as these, Newton's method is used to approximate roots.
