Newton's method is a root-finding algorithm used to approximate the roots of a real-valued function. It starts with an initial guess and uses linear approximation to find better approximations of the root. The process is repeated until a sufficiently precise value is reached, doubling the number of correct digits with each step. It can also be extended to complex functions and systems of equations.
