Implement Newton-Raphson method in R

[shimmer12]

The Newton-Raphson method is a powerful and relatively straightforward method for finding the roots of an equation. It has many advantages but suffers from several drawbacks such as a readily calculated derivative, inconsistencies when f′(x)=0 and so on.

Pull Request Overview

This PR implements the Newton-Raphson method for finding roots of equations in R. The implementation provides a numerical method that iteratively approximates roots using the function and its derivative.

Key changes:

• Adds a new Newton-Raphson algorithm implementation
• Includes standard numerical method parameters (tolerance, maximum iterations)
• Provides a clean, functional interface for root finding

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

• The function lacks documentation explaining the algorithm, parameters, and return value. Add comments describing what the Newton-Raphson method does, the expected input parameters, and the output.
