Ken Ono, a top mathematician and advisor at the University of Virginia, has helped uncover a striking new way to find prime ...

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating ...

Prayagraj: In a bid to boost student understanding, the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UP Board) has launched a ...

Algebraic problems are equations that ask you to solve for unknown quantities, called variables. A simple algebraic equation is 5x - 5 = 10.

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 ...

A University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney mathematician has revealed the first successful solution of an ‘impossible’ equation once considered unsolvable. Described as algebra’s oldest problem, ...

“Our solution reopens a previously closed book in mathematics history,” Prof. Wildberger says. The polynomial problem Solutions to degree-two polynomials have been around since 1800 BC, thanks to the ...

The idea of solving equations with power series isn’t entirely new. In 1844, Gotthold Eisenstein used a similar method for a fifth-degree polynomial that couldn’t be solved with radicals.

To understand this breakthrough, it helps to know why solving polynomials became such a challenge. Solutions to basic equations, such as quadratics like 1 + 4x - 3x² = 0, go back to ancient Babylon.

Part of the new solution. (Insights into Mathematics/YouTube) 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 ...

A UNSW mathematician recently developed a new method using unique number sequences to tackle this long-standing algebra problem. The Babylonians developed a method for solving degree-two polynomials ...
