The "next-level math trick" Newton-Raphson has nothing to do with functional programming. I have written solvers in purely iterative style. As far as I know, Newton-Raphson is the opposite of functional programming as you iteratively solve for the root. Functional programming is stateless where you are not allowed to store any state (current best guess root).
