One day in my MA 265 lecture (10 Nov.), Professor Uli talked about difficulty in solving polynomial equation of degree n. Specifically, Professor Uli suggested that we do not spend trying to apply the cubic formula for the sake of time, as it will take the entire blackboard to write down the formula.
I decided to see if it really took the entire blackboard to apply the cubic formula. The cubic formula can be found here
