Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...

A mathematician has solved a 200-year-old maths problem after figuring out a way to crack higher-degree polynomial equations without using radicals or irrational numbers. The method developed by ...

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 ...

Logical Math Riddles for Class 9: There’s no better workout for the brain than an intricate question. Have you ever noticed yourself spending hours scratching your head on a riddle, brain teaser or a ...

New work establishes a tighter connection between the rank of a polynomial and the extent to which it favors particular outputs. When you deposit a quarter and turn the crank on a gumball machine, the ...

The Abhyankar-Sathaye Problem asks whether any biregular embedding $\varphi \colon {\Bbb C}^{k}\hookrightarrow {\Bbb C}^{n}$ can be rectified, that is, whether there exists an automorphism α ∈ Aut Cn ...

Let p be a prime number and let GLn be the group of all invertible matrices over the prime field Fp. It is known that every irreducible GLn- module can occur as a submodule of P, the polynomial ...

MUCH use is made in combinatorial problems of generating functions in the form of polynomials and infinite power series, these being obtained by the manipulation of other algebraic expressions. In ...

With the advent of the iPhone and iPad, new apps have come out of the woodwork. Educational apps for kids take up a huge piece of the market. And, I swear, half of those are ABC apps. But, among the ...
