False position method . "Double false position" is aimed at solving more difficult problems that can be written algebraically in the form: determine such that if it is known that Double false position is mathematically equivalent to linear interpolation. By using a pair of test inputs and the corresponding pair of outputs, the result of this algorithm given by, would be memorized and carried out by rote. Indeed, the rule as given by Robert Recorde in his "Ground of Artes" (c. 1542) is: <poem> For an affine linear function, double false position provides the exact solution, while for a nonlinear function it provides
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
