The Rapid Solution of Cubic Equations: A Method for Engineers, Using a Nomogram and Successive Approximations

Abstract

THE problem of finding approximate solutions of algebraic equations arises frequently in engineering practice; perhaps the most important or frequent instance is that of the ‘characteristic equation’ of a linear differential equation describing the behaviour of some electrical or mechanical system.
