Definition
Kolmogorov
Every continuous function of several variables defined on the unit cube can be represented as a superposition of continuous functions of one variable and the operation of addition (1957).

Neural network approach to counting real roots of polynomial systems
Mourrain, Pavlidis, Tasoulis,Vrahatis:
univariate polynomials of degree 2
ax^2+bx+c=0
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
