The objective of this article is to study the development of methods for solving third-degree equations, from ancient civilizations to the discovery of the algebraic resolution method consolidated during the Renaissance period. Each attempt at resolution was essential, as it enabled advancements in the development of Algebra. Additionally, this study will address the consequences and new discoveries brought by this method to the history of mathematics, such as the emergence of complex numbers and the development of Galois Theory. Finally, this study will discuss the feasibility of applying this method in high school education, evaluating its potential and pedagogical limitations.
