We derive the Cardano formula of cubic equations by completing the cube, and provide radical solutions to some algebraic equations of higher degree by completing powers. The main idea of completing powers arises from Harrison's center…
In this article we solve a general class of sextic equations. The solution follows if we consider the $j$-invariant and relate it with the polynomial equation's coefficients. The form of the solution is a relation of Rogers-Ramanujan…

We study the Abel differential equation x0 = A(t)x3 + B(t)x2 +C(t)x. Specifically, we find bounds on the number of its rational solutions when A(t), B(t) and C(t) are polynomials with real or complex coefficients; and on the number of…
In this paper we prove that for all degree $6$ polynomials with rational coefficients that $F(\mathbb{Z}^2) \neq \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$. The answers a question of B. Poonen and J. S. Lew in the degree 6 case. This work builds on previous work…
Starting from the solution to Bring's equation the root ambiguity is removed from the solution to the quintic equation. This gives the five complex roots of the quintic equation as indicated by Gauss's Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.r
We characterize the rational solutions to a KdV-like equation which are generated from polynomial solutions to the corresponding generalized bilinear equation. We use a particular class of polynomials satisfying a quadratic difference…
