Newton-Raphson Method to Compute the Square Root of x
-
Step 1: Set the value of guess to 1.
Step 2: If |guess2 - x| < ε, proceed to step 4.
Step 3: Set the value of guess to (x / guess + guess) /…

As the name suggests, we should probably implement `Sqrt` for #27 to be doable. [Newton–Raphson's method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method) is a good place to start, and we could also l…

* Merely refers to "Sivia p. 125"; fix this reference to be more usable
* Add documentation in the code enough that the user knows the function implemented, and supplemental info can require a book, …

This method can be derived from (but predates) Newton–Raphson method.

Scipy uses enumerated types in a number of places: for example, when selecting the `method` used by `scipy.optimize.minimize`. Historically, the pattern here has been to use strings. However, this is …

The bit of code here has somewhat unintuitive behaviour. Note that this is doing a `sqrt` operation
```julia
julia> using ForwardDiff
julia> function newtons(x)
a = x

Newton has no cat (subobject):
```
$ cat Newton.spin
#ifdef X
#warning X defined
#endif
#ifndef X
#warning X not defined
#endif
pub Newton
```
Compiling without defining `X` looks ok:

### What happened?
I'm interested in using the tags for prompts described in the documentation. The inputs are not being represented properly in the prompt-view, but it seems like they are being str…

In my problem, the evaluation of the target function and the associated gradient has noise and computational errors. In the near future, is it possible to include the Stochastic Quasi-Newton Method in…

@MFraters -- I think we need your help with this. Looking through the DC Picard log file you sent me earlier today, it shows this:

Solving temperature system... 7 iterations.
