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 ...
§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 ...
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 ...
