Get ready for more users arriving the fediverse whenever this hits.
Got nerd sniped by @acegikmo when I found out that "if a cubic polynomial has three real roots, the roots can be thought of as a projection of the vertices of an equilateral triangle. That triangle is constructed from the roots of the first and second derivative of the polynomial"
Here, an equilateral triangle rotates with a constant velocity, which defines the roots of the cubic equation. Two cubic polynomials are then drawn using the given roots.
i reckon all software developers should read this thread. it's incredible. literally everything is here. entire books could be written about it
