// transformation that best approximates f near the point x. It can be represented
// by a matrix A whose entries are the partial derivatives of the components of f
// with respect to all the coordinates. This is know as the Jacobian
//
// The best linear approximation to f is given by the matrix equation:
//
// y-y0 = A (x-x0)
//
// So, if x0 is a good "guess" for the zero of f, then solving for the zero of this
// linear approximation will give a "better guess" for the zero of f. Thus let y=0,
// and since y0=f(x0) one can solve the above equation for x. This leads to the
// Newton's method formula:
//
// xn+1 = xn - A-1 f(xn)
//
// where xn+1 denotes the (n+1)-st guess, obtained from the n-th guess xn in the
// fashion described above. Iterating this will give better and better approximations
// if you have a "good enough" initial guess.
