Review text

The authors treat the following problem 699 of Ramanujan to show that the roots of the equations \[ x^6-x^3+x^2+2x-1=0 \] \[ x^6+x^5-x^3-x^2-x+1=0 \] can be expressed in terms of radicals. The article is very nicely written connecting modular invariants. Through a nice proposition, once the real root is known, the other roots can be found. It is not clear to the reviewer, whether the real root is explicit. The authors may like to see ``Solution of G. N. Watson [J. Indian Math. Soc. 18, 273-275 (1930; JFM 56.0116.07)] in the solutions section. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0901.00033].
