Powell's hybrid method in Mathematica

A Mathematica code by Ken D. Olum for simultaneous equations using Powell's hybrid (or "dogleg") method, described in M. J. D. Powell, "A hybrid method for nonlinear equations", in Numerical methods for nonlinear algebraic equations, Philip Rabinowitz, editor, chapter 6, pages 87-114, Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, New York, 1970. Only the case for the Jacobian is known analytically is implemented.
