I guess fz_roots will work for now, but what I'm really interested in
is a program that solves using the analytic solution for quartics (and
I'm too lazy right now to program mine own in ;). I basically have to
create a 2-D array where each bin is the root of a quartic equation, so
using fz_roots means looping through each bin of the array. This is
okay for small arrays right now but not for any big ones in the future.
