"""
Author: P Shreyas Shetty
Implementation of Newton-Raphson method for solving equations of kind
f(x) = 0. It is an iterative method where solution is found by the expression
x[n+1] = x[n] + f(x[n])/f'(x[n])
If no solution exists, then either the solution will not be found when iteration
limit is reached or the gradient f'(x[n]) approaches zero. In both cases, exception
is raised. If iteration limit is reached, try increasing maxiter.
