A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

The interplay between algebraic structures and orthogonal polynomials has emerged as a central theme in contemporary mathematics and theoretical physics. At its core, this research area explores how ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

MUCH use is made in combinatorial problems of generating functions in the form of polynomials and infinite power series, these being obtained by the manipulation of other algebraic expressions. In ...

Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...
