Newton's method (also known as the Newton-Raphson method) is a method for finding the roots or zeros of differentiable functions. You will find a discussion of the method in almost any calculus textbook, so I won't describe it in algebraic detail here. The purpose of this worksheet is to show graphically exactly what happens when Newton's method is applied to single-variable functions. Maple's animation commands are ideal for this, so this worksheet will help you understand Newton's method far better than any textbook can
