Newton-Raphson method

The Newton-Raphson method is a mathematical technique used to find approximate solutions to equations. It starts with an initial guess and uses the function's slope at that point to make a better guess. By repeating this process—calculating new guesses based on the previous ones—it converges towards a more accurate solution. This method is especially useful for solving complex equations where analytical solutions are difficult to find. It’s widely used in various fields, including engineering and computer science, to quickly locate values where functions cross the zero line (i.e., where they equal zero).
