A Historical Survey of Algebraic Methods of Approximating the Roots of Numerical Higher Equations Up to the Year 1819 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Historical Survey of Algebraic Methods of Approximating the Roots of Numerical Higher Equations Up to the Year 1819
We formerly thought that the root concept originated among the Greeks, but recent discoveries show us that the finding of roots of numbers and the solution of quadratic equations, and even the approximation methods employed in this work; go as far back as the early Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333388874_0
