The Newton-Raphson Method
personal.math.ubc.ca › math104 › newtonmethodThe Newton-Raphson Method 1 Introduction The Newton-Raphson method, or Newton Method, is a powerful technique for solving equations numerically. Like so much of the di erential calculus, it is based on the simple idea of linear approximation. The Newton Method, properly used, usually homes in on a root with devastating e ciency.
