Multivariate Gaussian Distribution
Consider the i.i.d. Gaussian variables \(z_i \sim N(\mu,\sigma)\), where \(\mu=0\)
and \(\sigma=1\). The random variables from a linear combination of \(z_i\), e.g.

Newton's method
To numerically find a root of \(f(x)=0\), we may use the Newton’s method. Assuming
the root is at the proximity of \(x_k\), to find a better approximate \(x_{k+1}\),
we consider the tangent line at \((x_k, f(x_k))\), which is provided by the
equation
