Book excerpt: 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.
