You may have memorized the formula to solve quadratic equations. You may have seen the formula for cubic equations, or even quartic equations (although most people don't memorize these).
But what about polynomial equations of higher degree?
And can we use MATHEMATICA to solve these equations?

About our Instructors:

Michael earned his BS in Math from Caltech, and did his graduate work in Math at UC Berkeley and University of Washington, specializing in Number Theory. A self-taught programmer, Michael taught both Math and Computer Programming at the college level. He applied this knowledge as a financial analyst (quant) and as a programmer at Google.

Kimberly earned her BS in Biology and another BS in English at Caltech. She did her graduate work in Molecular Biology at Princeton, specializing in Immunology and Neurobiology. Kimberly spent 16+ years as a research scientist and a dozen years as a biology and chemistry instructor.

Michael and Kimberly Harrison co-founded Socratica.
Their mission? To create the education of the future.
