The tool qcq.tbz
contains routines to directly solve quadratic, cubic and quartic equations
with real or complex coefficients (i.e., no iterative root finding).
Examples where these root finders find utility is in
direct, least-squares fitting of a parabola
to noisy data, the intersection points of two conic sections,
the distance of closest approach of two ellipses, and
Alhazen's problem.
