Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have ...

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

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations.

Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.

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.

Higher order polynomial equations play a fundamental role in both math and science, assisting in everything from writing computer programs to describing the movement of planets.

Solving polynomial equations The nature and co-ordinates of roots can be determined using the discriminant and solving polynomials.

At its core, an Appell sequence is characterised by a shift-invariance under differentiation, making these polynomials a natural basis for solving linear differential equations.
