Find the roots of polynomial equations

This package supplies a set of functions that find the roots of polynomials. Polynomials up to the quartic may be solved directly by numerical formulae. Polynomials of fifth and higher powers will be solved by an iterative method, as there are no general solutions for fifth and higher powers.

The linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic *_roots functions all expect to have a non-zero value for the $a term.

If the constant term is zero then the first value returned in the list of answers will always be zero, for all functions.
