A polynomial is a type of algebraic equation that involves variables raised to a non-negative power — for example, x² + 5x + ...

A mathematician has developed an algebraic solution to an equation that was long thought to be unsolvable. A groundbreaking ...

But although most high schoolers know how to solve simple polynomial equations, the solutions to higher-order polynomials have eluded even seasoned mathematicians. Now, University of New South ...

University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger has unveiled a potentially game-changing mathematical ...

This new tool bridges algebra and geometry, solving for equations involving polynomials of any degree. Through this new sequence, the researchers identified a novel mathematical pattern ...

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 ...

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 ...

However, a general method for solving 'higher order' polynomial equations, where x is raised to the power of five or higher, has historically proven elusive. Now, UNSW Honorary Professor Norman ...
