I was first exposed to Newton's Method in my undergraduate numerical methods course. I've used it a number of times since then in undergraduate and graduate courses, but I didn't begin to gain an appreciation for its power until my recent navigation systems course. To take a take a dive into Newton's Method and deepen my understanding of it, I spent a day tinkering with various Newton's Method implementations to solve different type of problems.
