Abstract
Abstract There is an interesting analogy between the description of the real square roots of 3×3 matrices and the zeros of the (depressed) real quartic polynomials. This analogy, which in fact better explains the nature of the zeros of those polynomials, is unveiled through a natural use of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
