The method mentioned as the Newton method is in fact called the Newton-Raphson method because Raphson's contribution is well established (i.e. not something that would be impressive for a student to know) and in fact, the way Raphson approached it was simpler and is the one featured in books today despite the fact it bears both names. It's also well known that Newton developed his method first even though he didn't publish it for quite some time after Raphson published as was Newton's modus operandi. The Newton-Raphson method is also quite basic and is covered in most high school curricula around the world ergo not something that merits a lengthy conversation in class, particularly in MIT.
