Methode Generale Pour La Resolution Des Systemes D'Equations Simultanees

Authors: Augustin-Louis Cauchy

Published: 1847 (Journal Paper)

Source: Comptes Rendus de l Academie des Sciences

Algorithm: Gradient descent

Summary

Cauchy classic note is an early source for the method now recognized as gradient descent or steepest descent, proposing iterative progress guided by derivatives for solving simultaneous equations. It is primarily useful as historical context for first-order optimization.
