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 ...

Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

For almost two centuries, mathematicians believed there was no general solution for certain high-degree polynomial equations. Now, two Australian researchers—Norman Wildberger and Dean Rubine—have ...
