Talk:Newton-Girard Formulas

Wolfram has a page [] wth title Newton-Girard Formulas.

What is posted there bears no similarity to the proofwiki theorem.

What should be called Newton-Girard formulas? The original ones of Newton or a particular variant?

Also see: Newton's Identities, D. G. Mead, The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 99, No. 8 (Oct., 1992), pp. 749-751.

Knuth's exercise 10 is about generating functions and happens to verify one variant of Newton-Girard formulas. --Gbgustafson (talk) 18:36, 29 November 2019 (EST)

Naming conventions: I wanted name Newton's Identities (historical references: 1959 and 1992) but was unable to create the main page because it was redirected from Newton-Girard Formulas. |Is the havoc on the proof pages caused by Newton's Identities redirect to Newton-Girard Formulas? --Gbgustafson (talk) 14:35, 13 December 2019 (EST)
