Many may remember how to solve quadratic equations. For a long time, there have been known solutions for cubic and quartic equations as well, however, they are complicated. Similar solutions, just using roots do not exist for exponents higher than four, however. Now a general solution has been found using a completely different approach using Catalan numbers and power series.
