newtzero

Finds the root(s) of a function of one variable, including complex roots, using Newton's method.

NEWTZERO(f,xr,n,tol) finds roots of function f near guess xr with n iterations to tolerance tol. May find more than one root, even if guess is way off. NEWTZERO often works to find complex roots where FZERO fails. See examples in help.
The initial guess, number of iterations, and tolerance are optional arguments.

NEWTZERO finds the roots of functions of only one variable!
