But what's the name of fourth degree polynomials? Adam P.S. While I'm asking... Is there some kind of general rule for this? So I don't have to ask the name of fifth, sixth, etc, degree polynomials next. -- Don't send me spam, I'm a vegetarian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
