Polynomial equations are fundamental concepts in mathematics that define relationships between numbers and variables in a structured manner. In mathematics, various equations are composed using ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Solving one of the oldest algebra problems isn't a bad claim to fame, and it's a claim Norman Wildberger can now make: The mathematician has solved what are known as higher-degree polynomial equations ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the diagram below: In diagram A, we can see that this parabola has 2 roots, diagram B has 1 root and diagram C has no roots. What type of ...

Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major ...

For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, where the variable is raised to the fifth power or more. Mathematicians ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method was ...
