Why did we forget this simple visual solution? (Lill's method)

Today's video is about Lill's method, an unexpectedly simple and highly visual way of finding solutions of polynomial equations (using turtles and lasers). After introducing the method I focus on a couple of stunning applications: pretty ways to solve quadratic equations with ruler and compass and cubic equations with origami, Horner's form, synthetic division and a newly discovered incarnation of Pascal's famous triangle. 00:00 Intro 04:14 Lill's method 07:31 Free meal 09:51 Square turtles 11:39 Origami turtles 14:16 Iterative turtles 17:32 QED 24:00 Pascal's turtle animation Here is the page with an implementation of Lill's method for cubic polynomials that I show in the video. http://www.qedcat.com/misc/lill_method/ It's an adaptation of this webpage http://heim.ifi.uio.no/magho/lill/ (I have not been able to find out who put this together originally). The article that inspired this video is this: Thomas C. Hull, Solving Cubics With Creases: The Work of Beloch and Lill, The American Mathematical Monthly , Vol. 118, No. 4 (April 2011), pp. 307-315. Here is a link to this article on Thomas Hull's webpage: http://mars.wne.edu/~thull/papers/ame... Lill's original paper: http://www.numdam.org/article/NAM_186...

Thank you very much to Marty, Karl and Danil for their help with this video. One version of today's math t-shirt (Zombie addition): https://www.redbubble.com/people/mani... The piece of music at the end is called "Fresh fallen snow" by Chris Haugen from the free YouTube music library. Really neat 1-line Mathematica code for the generation of the Pascal turtle which appeared on Reddit after the video was posted there: Graphics[Table[Line[ReIm[Accumulate[Table[2^(-n/2)Binomial[n,k]Exp[I(4+2k-n)Pi/4],{k,-1,n}]]]],{n,0,7}]] and another nice implementation in Python (with a real turtle graphics turtle) by Alex Hall https://repl.it/repls/DeepskyblueFrac...
