The company’s announcement comes one month after Microsoft released its own advanced AI math reasoning system, rStar-Math, ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² ...

A University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney mathematician has revealed the first successful solution of an ‘impossible’ equation once considered unsolvable. Described as algebra’s oldest problem, ...

A groundbreaking discovery from a UNSW Sydney mathematician may finally offer a solution to one of algebra’s toughest problems: how to solve high-degree polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations ...

For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, where the variable is raised to the fifth power or more.

Rethinking Radicals in Algebra. To understand this breakthrough, it helps to know why solving polynomials became such a challenge. Solutions to basic equations, such as quadratics like 1 + 4x ...

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 mathematician has solved what are known as higher-degree 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'.

The quest to solve polynomial equations started around 1800 BC with the Babylonians's "method of completing the square." The technique resulted in what we now know as the quadratic formula, taught ...

Solving polynomial equations that go beyond x to the power of four has remained impossible. But Mathematician Norman Wildberger, an Honorary Professor at Australia's University of New South Wales, and ...

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