Find approx. solutions to f(x)=0f(x) = 0f(x)=0
xn+1=xn−f(xn)f′(xn)x_{n+1} = x_n - \frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}xn+1=xn−f′(xn)f(xn)
Initial guess for the root
Tangent line
∣xn+1−xn∣<ϵ|x_{n+1} - x_n| < \epsilon∣xn+1−xn∣<ϵ
When initial guess is close to actual root
When f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) is close to zero
Flat slope or discontinuity
May converge to different roots depending on x0x_0x0
Good initial guess
