    The simple false position technique is found in cuneiform tablets from ancient Babylonian mathematics, and in papyri from ancient Egyptian mathematics. [3] [1]Double false position arose in late antiquity as a purely arithmetical algorithm.

  3. Secant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method

    This means that the false position method always converges; however, only with a linear order of convergence. Bracketing with a super-linear order of convergence as the secant method can be attained with improvements to the false position method (see Regula falsi § Improvements in regula falsi) such as the ITP method or the Illinois method.
