A Historical Survey of Algebraic Methods of Approximating the Roots of Numerical Higher Equations Up to the Year 1819 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book traces the development of methods used to find the values of numerical higher equations throughout history. The author takes the reader on a journey from the early concepts of higher roots and irrational numbers among the Greeks to approximation methods used by medieval and Renaissance mathematicians. This book moves beyond the conventional focus on the Regula Aurea and Vieta's method to cover techniques by Chuquet, Pacioli, Stevin, and others. Covering the work of Newton and Raphson as well, the author concludes with an in-depth look at Horner's method. These historical insights provide a framework for understanding the evolution of this essential mathematical tool over the centuries.
