- Consider the rational function:
We recognize in p(x) and q(x) respectively the Chebyshev polynomials of degree 3 and 5. Therefore r(x) has poles, and, i.e. for . We can see on the picture that and . For the pole in zero, we have since the left and right limits are equal (which is because p(x) also has a root in zero). We conclude that since q(x) has only five roots, all in . We cannot use here the Routh–Hurwitz theorem as each complex polynomial with f(iy) = q(y) + ip(y) has a zero on the imaginary line (namely at the origin).

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
