Hornern.2

Brit. /ˈhɔːnə/, U.S. /ˈhɔrnər/
Etymology: < the name of W. G. Horner (1786–1837), English mathematician.
Horner's method n. (also Horner method, Horner's process) a method for finding the real roots of a polynomial equated to zero by means of successive approximations. It involves finding by trial the largest integer α1 less than the root (x); transforming the equation to one with a root x1 = x − α1 (or 10(x − α1), to avoid fractions); finding the largest one-place decimal (or integer) a2 less than the new root; and so on, each approximation a1, a2, etc., providing one digit of the solution.
