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 ...
Meet PhotoMath, an iPhone and Android app that solves math problems photographed with your smartphone’s camera. Simply flip open the app, scan the problem as it appears in the textbook, and the app ...
An algebraic equation contains one or more letters in it. Each letter in the equation is called a variable. A variable can change in value. We guess at different values for each letter until our ...
Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...
SANTA CRUZ – Instead of shooting paint-ball guns with friends or loafing at home, 15-year-old Nash McQuaide has spent a chunk of summer break hunkered down trying to solve algebraic equations.
Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) serve as a critical framework in mathematical modelling by integrating both differential and algebraic components to represent systems with inherent constraints ...
Hirzebruch's problem at the interface of topology and algebraic geometry has occupied mathematicians for more than 50 years. A professor of mathematics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich ...
Courtney Gibbons is affiliated with the Association for Women in Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society. You might remember learning about the quadratic formula to figure out the solutions ...
