AWhat changed
Published a rapidly converging algebraic root-approximation procedure with examples.
Scientific scope
The record is Raphson's 1690 book and its iterative algebraic method. Newton's earlier manuscript route and subsequent Newton-Raphson analysis remain distinct, and no modern convergence guarantee is inferred.
