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 these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the ...

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

Trigonometric identities are powerful tools for simplifying complex equations in math and science. Three core ...

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 ...
