Newton's method - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_methodNewton's method is a powerful technique—in general the convergence is quadratic: as the method converges on the root, the difference between the root and the approximation is squared (the number of accurate digits roughly doubles) at each step. However, there are some difficulties with the method. Newton's method requires that the derivative can be calculated directly. An analytical expression f…

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.
