Formula for roots of higher polynomials?

Does anyone know of the formulas for roots of higher order polynomials (3+)?  We learned the quadratic formula in grade school but never heard of formulas for higher polynomials..  do they exist?

'"Why is there no formula for the roots of a fifth (or higher) degree polynomial equation in terms of the coefficients of the polynomial, using only the usual algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and application of radicals (square roots, cube roots, etc)?"'

Read, and stop being such a quasi-philosophical tit.
