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

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 ...

Polynomials above 4 degrees have a shiny new target on their back.

and can order things into a neat geometric structure for problem-solving. The team put the new method to the test on historic work, and it held up. “One of the equations we tested was a famous ...

Mathematicians from Chicago and Michigan solve Hilbert's sixth problem, which relates mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid ...

The equations are fundamental to math as well as science ... rely on an imprecise concept of infinity and lead to logical problems in mathematics. Prof. Wildberger's rejection of radicals inspired ...

The problem is that radicals often represent ... look to higher analogues of the Catalan numbers to solve higher-order polynomial equations. They called this extension "the Geode." ...

Although solving lower order polynomials—where the x in an equation is raised up to the ... Galois finally illustrated why this was such a problem—the underlying mathematical symmetry in ...
