@Chris : sometimes we will get the career we have not expected at all ... -)
Just watched last sunday one video interview with Simon (famous math, philantropic, NY city market and so on .. millionnaire businessman) as guest : he had never predicted that his math work at young age will be included into the main core of modern ... physics theory. The question "is it normal for simple non linear equations to be unsolvable systematically ?" is debatable. Since long time. Try to think about the length of arc of an ellipse. What is simple ? Sometimes we forget, the "closed form" of solution of equation doesn't exist, at least with current known formulas. Before my post reply : I went to URL about maxima (which is running under the scene of sagemath) ... and of course, my POV,.., not solving everything...especially some quadratic equations or in the p-adic fields (where is a basic Hensel lemma algorithm?)
