Visualizing Newton-Raphson

I’ve been studying the Newton-Raphson algorithm and coded up a simple example to show some of its shortcomings with particular functions. I’m posting here simply to share with the community and, as always, I welcome feedback! First is the case where we choose a good starting point and the algorithm quickly converges to find the root: [Newton-Raphson1] Next is a case where the algorithm doesn’t converge and it just oscillates around: [Newton-Raphson2] Finally, this starting point eventually …
