This document describes the Newton-Raphson method for finding the zero of a function. It provides the equations for calculating the function value and derivative, and then uses these to iteratively calculate new estimates for the zero, halving the error each iteration. The method converges to a solution of 0.56714329 for the zero of the given function F(x)=exp(-x)-x.
