This paper is purely expositional. The statement of the Abel-Ruffini theorem on unsolvability of equations using radicals is simple and well-known. We sketch an elementary proof of this theorem. We do not use the terms 'field extension',…
We present short elementary proofs of the well-known Ruffini-Abel-Galois theorems on insolvability of algebraic equations in radicals. These proofs are obtained from existing expositions by stripping away material not required for the…
According to the Abel-Ruffini theorem, equations of degree equal to or greater than 5 cannot, in most cases, be solved by radicals. Due of this theorem we will present a formula that solves specific cases of sixth degree equations using…
In this paper we construct a visualization of the Abel's Impossibility Theorem also known as the Abel-Ruffini Theorem. Using the canvas object in JavaScript along with the p5.js library, and given any expression that uses analytic functions…
According to the Abel-Ruffini theorem [1] and Galois theory [2], there is no solution in finite radicals to the general quintic equation. This article takes a different approach and proposes a new method to solve the quintic by iteration of…
Galois theory is developed using elementary polynomial and group algebra. The method follows closely the original prescription of Galois, and has the benefit of making the theory accessible to a wide audience. The theory is illustrated by a…

We classify general square systems of polynomial equations solvable in radicals. Expectedly, they are almost in a 1-to-1 correspondence with tuples of lattice polytopes of mixed volume not exceeding 4. The proof is based on the computation…

After Abel Ruffini theorem and Galois Theory the search for a method or formula to solve quintic equation ends. This paper discuss about the radical solution of quintic equation using a method that could be proved in some simple steps. A…
The paper deals with the resolution of third and fourth degree equations by means of radicals. It is a survey of some historical details about this fundamental problem. Moreover, it explains practical methods for the resolution of third and…
It appears that, along with many of my friends and colleagues, I had been brainwashed by the great and tragic lives of Abel and Galois to believe that no general formulas are possible for roots of equations higher than quartic. This seemed…
Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
We prove that the monodromy group of a reduced irreducible square system of general polynomial equations equals the symmetric group. This is a natural first step towards the Galois theory of general systems of polynomial equations, because…

Let $p$ be an odd natural number $\ge 3$. Inspired by results from Euclid's {\em Elements}, we express the irrational $$y=\sqrt[p]{d+\sqrt R}, $$ whose degree is $2p$, as a polynomial function of irrationals of degrees $\le p$. In certain…
