A mathematician and a computer scientist have just solved an "impossible" equation that has been considered unsolvable for ...

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

Mathematics is the only language spoken by all living things. This way of understanding the world practically explains everything known so far, and its infinitude means that, very ...

For nearly 200 years, "higher-degree polynomial equations" resisted any general solution. An Australian mathematician proposes an unprecedented method, eliminating irrational numbers in favor ...

For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, ...

Ah, math. Take an easy problem we all studied in our teens, scale it up by just a couple of steps, and suddenly you’re facing ...

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 ...

A UNSW professor claims that a long-standing algebra problem can be solved with a new method that avoids irrational numbers.

They detailed their approach April 8 in the journal The American Mathematical Monthly. A polynomial is a type of algebraic ...

The method developed by Norman Wildberger, PhD, an honorary professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW ...

A mathematical conundrum that has remained unsolvable for a few hundred years has been finally solved. The mathematician decided to cut off some extra details and had his EUREKA! moment. Science & Tec ...
