The connection between the number of positive and negative zeros of a polynomial and sign changes in a sequence of coefficients of the same polynomial is a subject of mathematical research for almost four centuries. Main results of this research were formulated and proved between 1637 and 1885 by Descartes, Newton, Fourier and Sylvester. This paper is an excellent (very interesting and meticulous at the same time) survey of their work.
