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

That year, French mathematician Évariste Galois finally illustrated why this was such a problem—the underlying mathematical ...

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

What type of roots the equation has can be shown by the discriminant. The discriminant for a quadratic equation \(a{x^2} + bx + c = 0\) is \({b^2} - 4ac\). And the types of root the equation has ...
