| Creator | Ribton; Herbert Panmure (fl 1845) |
| Date | 20 December 1845 |
| Description | Ribton suggests that by generalising from successive inductions of equations, a formula more universal than Newton's Binomial could be found.
Subject: Mathematics
Communicated by J G [John George] Children.
Written by Ribton at 5 Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin.
An abstract of the paper was published in volume 5 of Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London [later Proceedings of the Royal Society] as 'On Sir Isaac Newton's Method of finding the Limits of the Roots of Equations'. |
