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 ...

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 ...

If the mention of algebra conjures bad memories of math classes, a Python library called SymPy could change your mind about ...

Many people think of computers as "math experts" compared with us humans. While we can't solve equations as quickly as a machine, we shouldn't put too much faith in their accuracy because computers ...

In a previous paper [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 51 (2013), pp. 2238-2259] we analyzed the optimal orders of convergence of piecewise polynomial collocation solutions for systems of integralalgebraic ...

So far as I can ascertain, the method referred to is not known, at least in its complete form. It is a development of a method described by me in a previous paper (“Verb Functions, with Notes on the ...

The internet is torn over an elementary-level math equation which left many scratching their heads. The viral math problem has X users stumped - but the answer comes from lessons learned in fifth or ...

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, ...

PROF. RONALD ROSS gave in NATURE of October 29, 1908, an article upon “A Method of solving Algebraic Equations.” Without going into the matter itself, or into details concerning it, I beg to state ...
