Fouriers work was undertaken at about the same time, but appeared posthumously in 1831. With the exception of the proof of budans rule, which runs on rudiments of in nitesimal calculus taylors theorem, the proposed demonstrations are so short and elementary they could be taught at the undergraduate level. The theory of numerical equations1 concerns itself first with the location of the roots, and then with their approximation. Upensky must not have understood vincents method probably because he was not aware of budans theorem 3. A history of mathematicsmodern europeeuler, lagrange. It is a very simple and robust method, but it is also. In view of the above, it is historically incorrect to attribute vincents method to upensky. Newtoncotes formulas in this case, we obtain methods for numerical integration which can be derived from the lagrange interpolating method. The method is also called the binary search method.
