TitleReferee's report by George Peacock, on a paper 'On the resolution of numerical equations' by Joseph Agar
Date15 May 1845
DescriptionRecommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper is difficult to understand owing to the author's 'dispensing generally with the use of formulae' in discussing his reasoning and process. Refers to work of Gruffe of Zurich [?] and Graas [?]. Gives detailed criticism of the method and discussion. The paper is not suitably original for publication.
