    During his life, Cox published two articles. He expanded on the work Niels Nörlund had done on Euler polynomials as a solution to a particular difference equation; in particular, Cox introduced generalized Euler polynomials and the generalized Boole summation formula as an expansion on the Boole summation formula.
