Newton's method can be used to solve difficult burn equations for deltaV (e.g. ideal launch burns). This implements Newton's method in vizzy with error handling and convergence testing. It also includes an example of how to use it to solve the equation x^2 - 2 = 0 for x = sqrt(2). Yes I know there is a way to do that in vizzy already. I needed something that was easy to check.
