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 ...

Python allows free creation of plots, unlike expensive, stagnant graphing calculators. Import NumPy and Matplotlib for basic linear and polynomial plots in Python. Seaborn lets you make statistical ...

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 ...

Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

For almost two centuries, mathematicians believed there was no general solution for certain high-degree polynomial equations. Now, two Australian researchers—Norman Wildberger and Dean Rubine—have ...

Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

If you’ve ever taken an algebra or physics class, then you’ve met a parabola, the simple curve that can model how a ball flies through the air. The most important part of a parabola is the vertex — ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
