# newton.rb 
#
# Solves the nonlinear algebraic equation system f = 0 by Newton's method.
# This program is not dependent on BigDecimal.
#
# To call:
#    n = nlsolve(f,x)
#  where n is the number of iterations required,
#        x is the initial value vector
#        f is an Object which is used to compute the values of the equations to be solved.
# It must provide the following methods:
#
# f.values(x):: returns the values of all functions at x
#
# f.zero:: returns 0.0
# f.one:: returns 1.0
# f.two:: returns 1.0
# f.ten:: returns 10.0
#
# f.eps:: returns the convergence criterion (epsilon value) used to determine whether two values are considered equal. If |a-b| < epsilon, the two values are considered equal.
#
# On exit, x is the solution vector.
