Subject Outline
This SUBJECT OUTLINE acts as a table of contents with links to every text page. The TUTORIAL MENU in the upper-left frame is a selection of pages suggesting a sequential reading. Pages marked with a
glassy blue bullet in this SUBJECT OUTLINE are also listed in the TUTORIAL MENU. Not every page will predefine the terms that it uses, but a glossary has been provided with text-links to it.
Between autumn of 1993 and November of 1997 I worked on approximation methods for finding the partial solutions of polynomials with real number roots. This self- educative search was inspired by a hieroglyphic in a tomb of one of the Ramses' Pharaohs depicting both the Pythagorean theorem and the golden ratio. What followed was an almost constantly evocative continuum of eurekas! as I combed the literature available at the UCLA research libraries and fabulously rich in esoteric literature library of Cal. State U. at Northridge and dreamed up thought experiments in DOS Q-Basic. [Remember that earthquake back in January of '94?, well I worked on the computers at CSUN's library up to Christmas eve '93 and then avoided work both before the quake when the library reopened after the holidays as well as after the quake while languishing in depression for awhile; I also used to sleep between classes in my car on the bottom floor of that parking structure that collapsed 'cause it was cool there in the summertime!, the upper floors would wobble every time a car would pass behind me! oh well...] I also wrote texts devoted to my conclusions and results. I had been hoping to write a book on the subject, but every time I made an attempt, I would rewrite some of the previous chapter attempts as well as write some new ones. So I gave up thinking a solid book would ever materialize. Then along came greater public awareness of the internet and its potential to create an electronic book with updateable text seemed such a cool idea. But it seems I got lazy and never bothered to attempt much other than a scanty series of overview and conclusion pages. But languish no more. Here
is a file linking all of those text files and Q-Basic program files. Peruse at your leisure....

3) A Parallel Demonstration (possible

Degree-Polynomial Reducibility Formula
(Author Unknown, though famous---need
help with identifying him):
The Restricted Case of:
For all N as non-negative Integers
[0, 1, 2, 3, ...,
]: 2(2^N-1) =
the degree that is required of any
polynomial for that polynomial to
be reducible (completely
factorable) when all of its roots
are irrationally real and all of
its coefficients are present
(non-zero).
Examples:
a) 1st Degree = 2(2^0-1) = 1,
i.e.: x1 - 1
b) 2nd Degree = 2(2^1-1) = 2,
i.e.: x2 ± x - 1
c) 8th Degree = 2(2^2-1) = 8,
i.e.: x8 ± x7 - 7x6
6x5 - 15x4
± 10x3 - 10x2
4x - 1
d) 128th Degree = 2(2^3-1) = 128,
i.e.: x128 ± , ..., ± x - 1
