Abstract
The ordinary Routh test furnishes in a straightforward manner the number
of positive roots of a polynomial of degree
. A modification that allows one to obtain the number
of negative roots in the same way is presented. Thus, the number ro of (purely) imaginary roots is immediately found as
. The modified test is especially useful when there is a first column vanishing element.
