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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 33, No. 148 (Oct., 1979), pp. 1251-1256 (6 pages) A polynomial representation of the hybrid methods for solving ordinary differential equations is presented. The ...

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 ...

Let Φ(z) = ∑∞ 0 βjz j have radius of convergence $r (0 < r < \infty)$ and no singularities other than poles on the circle |z| = r. A complete solution is ...
