Fun fact: The number of correct digits roughly <b>doubles</b> with each iteration of Newton's method. So for example you could compute 1 billion digits of sqrt(17) with about 30 iterations.

Mathematicians: We need exact solutions!<br><br>Engineers: Nah, "close enough" is good enough.

I'm only at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9MinCagLQ&t=16">0:16</a> and I'm already having numerical computing class flashbacks (took that class ten years ago). Netwon Raphson, Regula Falsi, Runge-Kutta. It's all coming back.
