The Newton-Raphson Method
www.math.ubc.ca › ~anstee › math104The 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.

It can be easily generalized to the problem of finding solutions of a system of non-linear equations, which is referred to as Newton's technique. Moreover, it can be shown that the technique is quadratically convergent
