File Information
Description	This is still a work in progress, having trouble setting tolerances but setting the number of iterations seems to work fine.
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.11 (R2010b)

12 Oct 2011	Andrew Knyazev	"Number of iterations will be increased accordingly in order to meet the set tolerance value" - in other words the "ite" parameter is always ignored. The code never stops if the tolerance is not met.
11 Mar 2011	Thomas	Note that your m file requires symbolic tool box in order to use the sym function. Another way to do this is to do a numerical differentiation to get f'(x) instead.

Updates
11 Mar 2011	Fixed for-loop issue. Fixed nested function iteration issue. Changed tolerance logic to use absolute value.
