SOME years ago you published some interesting communications in regard to the graphical solution of cubic and quartic equations (vol. lxi. p. 55, vol. lxiii. pp. 515 and 609, vol. lxiv. p. 5). The ...
IN this tract Miss Telling has presented in compact form a great deal of information, gathered from various sources, which is not available as a whole elsewhere. The tract is divided into two chapters ...
§CQ.1 THE FIRST GREAT ADVANCE in algebra after the Middle Ages was the general solution of the cubic equation, immediately followed by a solution for the quartic. I tell the full story in the next ...
§7.1 I HAVE DESCRIBED HOW SOLUTIONS to the general cubic and quartic equations were found by Italian mathematicians in the first half of the 16th century. The next obvious challenge was the general ...
Given any cubic or quartic equation with real coefficients, it can be transformed by a change of variable into a standard form, and thus solved by means of a double-sided scale (Fig. 1) in the case of ...
