newton function to solve f(V)=0
/*
* Newton's method for finding roots
*
* code adapted from D.V. Fedorov,
* “Introduction to Numerical Methods with examples in Javascript”
* http://owww.phys.au.dk/~fedorov/nucltheo/Numeric/11/book.pdf
* (licensed under the GPL)
* by Philippe Riviere <philippe.riviere@illisible.net> March 2014
* modified for compatibility with Chrome/Safari
* added a max iterations parameter
*
* Usage: Newton.Solve(Math.exp, 2)); => ~ log(2)
* Newton.Solve(d3.geo.chamberlin(), [200,240])

il manque un paramètre : nb max d'itérations avant de déclarer forfait, en cas de non convergence

compatiblilty with Webkit solved

todo: proper wrapping; f(V) should be a vector result of one function instead of a vetor of functions.
