False position method double false position became a root-finding algorithm used in iterative numerical approximation techniques. Many equations, including most of the more complicated ones, can be solved only by iterative numerical approximation. This consists of trial and error, in which various values of the unknown quantity are tried. That trial-and-error may be guided by calculating, at each step of the procedure, a new estimate for the solution. There are many ways to arrive at a calculated-estimate and "regula falsi" provides one of these. Given an equation, move all of its terms to one side so that it has the form, , where
Always True to You in My Fashion Always True to You in My Fashion "Always True to You in My Fashion" is a 1948 show tune by Cole Porter, written for the musical "Kiss Me, Kate". It is based on "Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae sub Regno Cynarae," a similarly ironic poem by the English Decadent poet Ernest Dowson (1867–1900), which has the refrain 'I have been faithful to thee, Cynara, in my fashion,' and which was probably inspired by Dowson's lifelong friend Adelaide Foltinowicz, who never returned his devotion. The phrase "faithful in my fashion" entered the language before the song was written, and was the
