Newton's Method is used to find the root of an equation provided that
the function f[x] is equal to zero. Newton Method is an equation created before
the days of calculators and was used to find approximate roots to numbers. The

Although Newton's Method does have its disadvantages, it is very
effective for finding the roots of most equations. The advantages definitely
outweigh the slight disadvantages, and that is why it is still used to this day.
