Tai's method
Encyclopedia
Tai's method is a mathematical algorithm
for finding the total area under glucose tolerance
and other metabolic curves that has been dismissed as merely a rediscovery or simply plagiarism of the trapezoidal rule, and has been widely ridiculed.
Algorithm
In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function. Algorithms are used for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning...
for finding the total area under glucose tolerance
Glucose tolerance test
A glucose tolerance test is a medical test in which glucose is given and blood samples taken afterward to determine how quickly it is cleared from the blood. The test is usually used to test for diabetes, insulin resistance, and sometimes reactive hypoglycemia and acromegaly, or rarer disorders of...
