Higher-Degree Polynomials

We have devoted chapters to quadratic, cubic, and quartic polynomials. This pattern cannot continue through all degrees, and not just because the resulting book would be infinitely long. It turns out that results of the sort we have obtained do not exist for polynomials in degree greater than four....
