About this document
Exploring Beyond Quadratic Equations by Ticketing is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document is the preface to a book titled "Beyond the Quadratic Formula" by Ron Irving. It discusses how the quadratic formula is commonly taught in high school algebra but the study of cubic and quartic polynomial equations has been removed from many curriculums. The preface notes that undergraduate mathematics majors often study Galois theory, which provides tools to show there is no general formula for solving polynomial equations of degree higher than 4.
