Solving a polynomial equation is, despite the jargon, not a new problem. In fact, it’s one of the oldest: “Four millennia ago, the Babylonians could solve the system of equations +=, =, ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation.

The conjecture describes the set of conditions under which a polynomial equation in two variables (such as x 2 + y 4 = 4) is guaranteed to have only a finite number of solutions that can be ...

Polynomial Equations Formula. Example of a polynomial equation is: 2x 2 + 3x + 1 = 0, where 2x 2 + 3x + 1 is basically a polynomial expression which has been set equal to zero, to form a ...

A mathematician has derived an easier way to solve quadratic equation problems, according to MIT's Technology Review. You love challenging math problems. So do we. Let's solve them together ...

For example, the equation of a line, a first-degree polynomial, has this form. Y = ax + b. The equation for a parabola, a second-degree polynomial, has the form. Y = ax2 + bx + c.

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...
