Or, more likely, Newton and Raphson didn't (which makes sense, given they died
almost a century before Abel was born).
As I said earlier:

Given that, what are the major reasons dyad p. isn't invertible?
If it's that the result will be an approximation, I doubt anyone will find it
unreasonable that p.^:_1 is constrained by the
limitations of p. .
