which is a solution of the polynomial equation x3 + y3 = u3 + v3. Booker, Browning and Wooley are seeking to understand the hidden structure behind the distribution of integer solutions to polynomials ...
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.
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.
A. BLOCH 1 recently extended to complex coefficients Lucas's method 2 of the solution of polynomial equations with the aid of an electrolytic tank. Points of the tank represent complex numbers ...
Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.
A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations.
Although solving lower order polynomials—where the x in an equation is raised up to the fourth power—is often a simple task, things get complicated once you start seeing powers of five or greater.
