Bolzano and Cauchy's proof of Intermediate value theorem

280 Views Asked by At

I am not sure if it is the right place to ask, but I have been searching for the proof of Intermediate value theorem made by Bolzano and by Cauchy and I am a bit confused because as I understood it the theorem was first proven by Bolzano and then Cauchy provided a proof of the theorem few years later and it was not the same proof. But where can I find the proofs of the theorem?
