Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major ...

The theory of Appell polynomials has long intrigued researchers due to its elegant algebraic structure and rich connections with differential equations. At its core, an Appell sequence is ...

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 ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

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 ...

Three researchers from Bristol University are seeking to develop methods for analysing the distribution of integer solutions to polynomial equations. How do you know when a polynomial equation has ...

Equations, like numbers, cannot always be split into simpler elements. Researchers have now proved that such “prime” equations become ubiquitous as equations grow larger. Prime numbers get all the ...

How many times during your educational career have you thought to yourself, “When on earth am I ever -- and I mean ever -- going to use this?” I would venture to guess we’ve all thought this a time or ...
