Did Mathematicians Just Solve the Impossible Quintic?

For over 200 years, mathematicians believed that quintic equations – polynomials raised to the fifth power – couldn’t be solved using general formulas with radicals.

Now, Norman Wildberger (University of New South Wales) and independent computer scientist Dean Rubin have challenged that belief. Instead of radicals, they use power series and an extended form of Catalan numbers to simplify complex equations.

Their new numerical array – called The Geode – could reshape how we understand algebra, and may impact fields like computer science, quantum physics, and cryptography.
