Hi, my name's Mike.
I'm doing a report on finding zeroes/roots of polynomials.
I'm very interested in what they call Cardano's method/theorem for
fining cubic roots. Although his name comes up several times all over the
web nobody ever cites the actual formula. I was wondering if you knew what
it was and could send/tell me it?
Also, is there a formula for quartic equations?
Anything u could give me will be gratefully accepted,
thanx Mike.
Rather than try to write these expressions I will give you two references.
