Abstract

I'm sure by now someone has pointed out to Mr. J. J. Buc of Blue Island, Illinois, that his exposition “Fallacy in Solving Quadratic Equations” (THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER, December 1967, pp. 884 and 897) is itself fallacious. Ah, the beauty of mathematics—what structure, what strength! Should it fall through so simple an argument as Mr. Buc presents, we would indeed be in trouble.
