This topic of this video is Newton’s Method. It explains how the method works and how to actually use it to approximate the root of a function. Several very different applications of Newton’s Method are shown and explained as well. The method of actually using Newton’s Method on the calculator is shown, and you can see how accurate this method is along with what constraints come with it.
The calculator tutorial is very helpful.
