given x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d
the resolvent cubic is x^3 - 2bx^2 + (b^2 + ac - 4d)x + (c^2 + a^2d - abc)
use the cubic formula (CubicRoots.cpp) to find the radical expressions t1, t2, and t3.

(x - r1 r2) (x - r3 r4) = x^2 - (t2 + t3 - t1) / 2 x + d

t = r3*r4 = ((t2 + t3 - t1) - sqrt((t2 + t3 - t1)^2 - 16*d)) / 4

u = r1+r2 = (-a + sqrt(a^2 - 4*t1)) / 2
v = r3+r4 = (-a - sqrt(a^2 - 4*t1)) / 2

/* square root of complex number
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root#Square_roots_of_negative_and_complex_numbers
Algebraic formula
When the number is expressed using Cartesian coordinates the following formula
 can be used for the principal square root:[5][6]

sqrt(x + iy) = sqrt((r + x) / 2) +/- i*sqrt((r - x) / 2)

where the sign of the imaginary part of the root is taken to be same as the sign
 of the imaginary part of the original number, and
 
r = abs(x + iy) = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

is the absolute value or modulus of the original number. The real part of the 
principal value is always non-negative.
The other square root is simply –1 times the principal square root; in other 
words, the two square roots of a number sum to 0.
