  The 'sturm' keyword turns on the sturmian root solver algorithm, which is
slightly slower than the default algorithm, but gives a more accurate result.
With higher order polynomials the mathematically correct result can't be
calculated (I think that a polynomial of order 4 is the largest which has
a well-defined unique solution formula). For higher order polynomials some
approximation algorithm has to be used.
  That's about everything I know about 'sturm'.
