On Klein's Icosahedral Solution of the Quintic
Abstract
We present an exposition of the icosahedral solution of the quintic equation first described in Klein's classic work "Lectures on the icosahedron and the solution of equations of the fifth degree". Although we are heavily influenced by Klein we follow a slightly different approach which enables us to arrive at the solution more directly.
