Dr. Daniel relates "When I ran across Raphson's Latin use of pantheos and pantheismus in 1994, I think I was simply following up on a reference to Raphson by Berkeley (in his "Philosophical Commentaries"). Most Berkeley scholars are not as familiar with Toland as I probably am, so the appearance of the terms struck me (since I, like everyone else, had thought that Toland was the first to use them). Probably people knew of Raphson's use of the terms but had not made the connection about who used them first. At least in 1994 I was still under the impression that Toland had used the term first. When I mentioned
it to (a fellow scholar), he suggested that I contact the folks at the Oxford English Dictionary to update their entry. But since the OED deals with English uses, I did not because Toland still would have been the first to use the English versions. However, as Toland notes in "Serena," Raphson seems to have come up with the concepts of pantheism and pantheist in 1697. I guess I may have been the first to have seen that, primarily in the Toland-Berkeley context (of which latter relation there is a lot more to sayand I am currently working on it for a book on Berkeley)."

Joseph Raphson 's life can only be deduced from a number of pointers. No obituary of Raphson seems to have been written and we can now only piece together details about his life from records which exist such at University of Cambridge records and records of the Royal Society . It is through the University of Cambridge records that we know that Raphson attended Jesus College Cambridge and graduated with an M.A. in 1692. Rather remarkably Raphson was made a member of the Royal Society in 1691, the year before he graduated. His election to that Society was on the strength of his book Analysis aequationum universalis which was published in 1690 contained the Newton method for approximating the roots of an equation. In Method of Fluxions Newton describes the same method and, as an example, finds the root of x x - 5 = lying between 2 and 3. Although written in 1671 it was not published until 1736, so Raphson published the result nearly 50 years before Newton Raphson's relation to Newton is important but not particularly well understood. In [2] Copenhaver writes:-

    John Toland By Gary Suttle
    Lexicographers credit John Toland with the first English language usage of the word "pantheist." Toland set forth precepts of Pantheism and even described membership activities for a Pantheist Society. Biographers describe Toland as a swashbuckling adventurer in scholarshipa philosopher, a writer, a linguist, a polemicist, a diplomat, a biblical scholar, a freethinker, a deist, and ultimately a proponent of Pantheism. His fascinating life began near Londonderry, Ireland, on November 30, 1670. Christened in the Catholic Church, he converted to Protestantism around age 15. Education led him from Christianity to freethinking. Toland acquired a degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1690. He studied further in England, Germany, and Holland. A Dutch friend called Toland as "a free-spirited, ingenious man." But his unorthodox views and outspokenness made it hard to earn a living. He gained income by penning political pamphlets and biographies for aristocratic patrons. Toland wrote prolifically on a wide range of subjects, including religious tolerance and civil liberty. A large bibliography lists almost two hundred works authored or ascribed to him. An important early book

He thought of space as being independent of the mind that perceives it. In this work he also discussed the infinite (potential and actual) and motion in space, where space is said to be infinite, but the objects in it are finite. Demonstratio de deo dealt with the issue of space and Raphson's Cabalist ideals. As an ironic twist, Newton views of space were strongly influenced by religion, the Christian religion and philosophy.

As such, it is an example of a root-finding algorithm . It can also be used to find a minimum or maximum of such a function, by finding a zero in the function's first derivative, see Newton's method as an optimization algorithm
    Description of the method
    The idea of the method is as follows: one starts with a value which is reasonably close to the true zero, then replaces the function by its tangent (which can be computed using the tools of calculus ) and computes the zero of this tangent (which is easily done with elementary algebra). This zero of the tangent will typically be a better approximation to the function's zero, and the method can be iterated Suppose f a b R is a differentiable function defined on the interval a b ] with values in the real numbers R . We start with an arbitrary value x (the closer to the zero the better) and then define for each natural number n Here

    Solving equations with the Newton-Raphson method
    by Stephen R. Schmitt
    Introduction
    The Newton-Raphson method allows one to solve equations of the form f(x) = by finding the values of x for which the equality is valid. In 1669, Isaac Newton found an algorithm to solve for the roots (values for which the function equals zero) of a polynomial equation. In this method, one guesses a starting value and then repeatedly makes small changes that yield improved approximations to the solution. The process terminates once the desired precision is reached. Newton's original method did not use the derivative of f(x) Later, in 1690, Joseph Raphson found an improvement to Newton's method which did use the derivative of f(x), f'(x) . Each iterative step of the Newton-Raphson method is x n+1 := x n - f(x n )/f'(x n If an estimated root of f(x) = is x n , then the line tangent to f(x n at x n crosses the x-axis at a point, x n+1 , which is an improved estimate of the root. The slope of this tangent is given by the derivative. Repeated application of the iterative step improves the estimate.
    Approximate derivative
    Sometimes it is inconvenient to explicitly determine the derivative of a function for use in a computer program. An approximate derivative of

    AN ENDURING MYTH N. KOLLERSTROM British Journal for History of Science,1992, 25, 347-54 (I) -2y-5 = 0, as the example given in De analysi, he started with the approximate solution of 2. Let the exact solution be 2+p, where p is small, and substitute 2+p into the equation in place of y. This generates a new cubic equation, namely p +10p = 1. As p is small, its powers are ignored, yielding the approximate solution 10p = 1 or p = 0.1. Next, 0.1+q is inserted in place of p to form another new equation, and so on. This is continued to achieve any desired level of accuracy. Raphson presented his method as follows. Taking as an example the equation ba - aaa = c (which we would write as a - ba + c = 0), let an approximate solution be g. Then, if a more accurate solution is g+x, X = (c+ggg-bg) / (b-3gg) The quotient expression was obtained by a two-step procedure (13). In the above example, one substituted (g + x) for a, then expanded the power terms to give a larger equation; this was a straightforward binomial expansion. The second step was to extract the terms in x: the terms which multiplied x in this example were (b-3gg), and these became the quotient. Iterating this procedure, Raphson explained, would give any desired level of accuracy. He elaborated his method only within the context of polynomial equations, without attempting to deal with reciprocal or square root functions. His worked examples contained terms up to the seventh power.
