I''m wondering if there is anyone out there who can remember the triatic formula or take out that dusty math book they have stashed away hoping they would never have to see again, I would appreciate it. I have come up with a general solution for solving eigenvalues for a 3x3 matrix but I need the triatic formula to finish everything off. I would get out my math book however I''m in the middle of a move so it''s kind of packed up. I don''t care if there is a better way of doing eigenvalues, i just want to see if my solution works out. I need to figure stuff out for it to sink in and me be able to use it fully. Thanks. Mat

Just run a search on google.

I tried but it came up with nothing. I know that it exists though. My calc teacher this year proved how it came about.

If you mean the solution for t of a*t^3+b*t^2+c*t+d=0 then perhaps:
