• 00:1100:11, 13 December 2020 diff hist +46‎ Discriminant ‎ →‎Degree 3: Another stab at rewording the tortured text about −3 times the discriminant. Dunno if you'll like it, but it doesn't wreck the article, so I'll be WP:BOLD and have the discussion via mainspace edit comments.

• 22:1722:17, 12 December 2020 diff hist +53‎ Discriminant ‎ →‎Low degrees: Re-do a couple more changes that weren't described as problematic in previous undo: name & wikilink depressed cubic, rm space before ref, use "Conversely" as better extrapolation cue than "Likewise". Sorry for others; I thought \Delta was clear from context. But yes, quadratic is not the same as cubic restricted to a=0. Still hate that –3 verbiage and want to replace it.
• 18:4118:41, 12 December 2020 diff hist 0‎ Discriminant ‎ →‎Low degrees: (Dummy edit) Use variable \Delta for discriminant, for consistency with earlier text, and to simplify some very awkward text "the product of -3 times the discriminant".
