In algebra, casus irreducibilis (Latin for "the irreducible case") is one of the cases that may arise in solving polynomials of degree 3 or higher with integer coefficients algebraically (as opposed to numerically), i.e., by obtaining roots that are expressed with radicals. It shows that many algebraic numbers are real-valued but cannot be expressed in radicals without introducing complex numbers. The most notable occurrence of casus irreducibilis is in the case of cubic polynomials that have three real roots, which was proven by Pierre Wantzel in 1843.One can see whether a given cubic polynomial is in so-called casus irreducibilis by looking at the discriminant, via Cardano's formula.

500 years of NOT teaching THE CUBIC FORMULA. What is it they think you can't handle?
Why is it that, unlike with the quadratic formula, nobody teaches the cubic formula? After all, they do lots of polynomial torturing in schools and the discovery of the cubic formula is considered to be one of the milestones in the history of mathematics. It's all a bit of a mystery and ou

Alexander Schrijver: The partially disjoint paths problem
Abstract: The partially disjoint paths problem asks for paths P1,…,Pk between given pairs of terminals, while certain pairs of paths Pi,Pj are required to be disjoint. With the help of combinatorial group theory, we show that, for fixed k, this problem can be solved in polynomial time for

Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party
In this lecture, Professor Iwan Morgan (University College London) thinks about the transformation of the Democratic Party between 1933-45, focusing in particular on: (i) the party’s relative lack of electoral success in the decades prior to Roosevelt; (ii) the Democratic Party’s tradition
