I have experience with basic proofing, but was wondering if anyone knew of any introductory friendly texts for such material.

You should start by applying it in a sample problem
You use that formula to find x in a polynomial.
For example, $$x^{2}+2x-8$$

It follows the $$ax ^{2}+bx+c=0$$
Let a be 1
Let b be 2
Let c be -8

You substitute the variables in the quadratic equation and you will get 2 & -4

In your shoes I'd turn immediately to a Google search. Here are the search results returned: https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=abel%20ruffini%20theorem&es_th=1

@PrincessVentures ,what you're saying has NOTHING to do with the abel ruffini theorem. Maybe if it was a 5th degree polynomial.
@mathmale , what a condescendingly annoying thing to say. You think I haven't tried to look? Most sources bring up other theorems and "trivially" prove the theorem, which is frustrating to those that are unfamiliar. If you don't have a useful response to my question, please don't spam it. ESPECIALLY as a moderator.
