The theorem is named after Paolo Ruffini, who made an incomplete proof in 1799 [1] (which was refined and completed in 1813 [2] and accepted by Cauchy) and Niels Henrik Abel, who provided a proof in 1824. [3] [4] Abel–Ruffini theorem refers also to the slightly stronger result that there are equations of degree five and higher that cannot be ...
Ruffini's rule can be used when one needs the quotient of a polynomial P by a binomial of the form . (When one needs only the remainder, the polynomial remainder theorem provides a simpler method.) A typical example, where one needs the quotient, is the factorization of a polynomial p ( x ) {\displaystyle p(x)} for which one knows a root r :
Summation by parts is frequently used to prove Abel's theorem and Dirichlet's test. One can also use this technique to prove Abel's test: If is a convergent series, and a bounded monotone sequence, then = = converges. Proof of Abel's test.

There exist algebraic solutions for cubic equations [1] and quartic equations, [2] which are more complicated than the quadratic formula. The Abel–Ruffini theorem, [3]: 211 and, more generally Galois theory, state that some quintic equations, such as + =, do not have any algebraic solution.
In mathematics, Abel's theorem for power series relates a limit of a power series to the sum of its coefficients. It is named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel , who proved it in 1826. [ 1 ]
1983 Trichotomy theorem. Gorenstein and Lyons's proof for the case of rank at least 4 was 731 pages long, and Aschbacher's proof of the rank 3 case adds another 159 pages, for a total of 890 pages. 1983 Selberg trace formula. Hejhal's proof of a general form of the Selberg trace formula consisted of 2 volumes with a total length of 1322 pages.
In 1824, the Abel–Ruffini theorem established that polynomial equations of a degree of five or higher could have no solutions in radicals. It became clear to mathematicians since then that one needed to go beyond radicals in order to express the solutions to equations of the fifth and higher degrees.
