(This is a natural continuation of a previous post.) I. Quintic method Given the Lehmer quintic, $$x^5 + n^2x^4 - (2n^3 + 6n^2 + 10n + 10)x^3 + (n^4 + 5n^3 + 11n^2 + 15n + 5)x^2 + (n^3 + 4n^2 + 10n + ...

I've always wondered if the DeMoivre method to generate an algebraic number $x_p$, $$x_p = u_1^{1/p}+u_2^{1/p}$$ of degree $p$ using only quadratic roots $u_i$ could be generalized using cubic roots $...
