Sort of. Look in the examples/calculus subdirectory.

The algorithm is used all over--e.g. square roots of power series are  
computed via newton-raphson. I am pretty sure many of the numerical  
optimization/root finding algorithms use it as well. What are you  
trying to use it for?

Finding the yield of a bond given a price.  You can see a
demonstration here:

The newton-raphson usage starts after the 3d plot.
