Use Newton's method to find real roots
newton(f, fp, x, tol = 0.001, m = 100)
f |
function to integrate |
fp |
function representing the derivative of |
x |
an initial estimate of the root |
tol |
the error tolerance |
m |
the maximum number of iterations |
Newton's method finds real roots of a function, but requires knowing
the function derivative. It will return when the interval between
them is less than tol, the error tolerance. However, this
implementation also stops after m iterations.
