Newton's method (nonfiction)

In numerical analysis, Newton's method (also known as the Newton–Raphson method) is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

It is named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, and is one example of a root-finding algorithm.
