If the IRS had discovered the quadratic formula

Found this via Isabel’s Math Blog: A cute bit by Daniel Vellman called “If the IRS had discovered the quadratic formula“…

The IRS provides step-by-step worksheets to make the application of complicated mathematical formulas to your financial situation simpler. I think they basically do a good job of this. But it is funny to see it taken to the extreme.
