Abstract

In this two part article, we highlight some of the ways we can do algebra geometrically. We will find square roots and cube roots and solve quadratics, cubics, and even quartics. These are all achieved by showing the intersection of various conics, which can yield the solutions to a great many problems. We will also show algebraic and geometric connections.
