Math Smartasses

Bhaskara (Baskhara?) was a fukken smartass
oh sure, get his formula for resolving quadratic functions, that's just a smartass job

I did it yesterday pretty simply it too
and how come the formula gets his name?

I mean

have a ax² + bx + c = 0 formula and you wish to know the roots, this is how he did it:
ax² + bx = -c (*4a)
4a²x² + 4abx = -4ac (+b²)
4a²x² + 4abx + b² = b² - 4ac (factorising the left side)
(2ax + b)² = b² - 4ac
2ax + b = +- sqrt(b² - 4ac)
2ax = -b +- sqrt(b² - 4ac)
x = (-b +- sqrt(b² - 4ac))/2a

now seriously, is it really that difficult?
was he in college when he did this?
did he get a phd for it?

fuck math smartasses
I'm better than them.

Guys, it's alright if you don't believe me. Galois wasn't accepted by the mathematical community at first, but now he's recognised as a great mathematician.

In time my theory for the general solution to quintics will be as well known as his work, just wait and see.
