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

Polynomial equations involve a variable being raised to powers, such as the degree two polynomial: 1+ 4x - 3x 2 = 0.

Algebra Touch teaches you to rearrange terms in polynomials so that like terms are together for easier adding. Tapping the operator between them causes the terms to compute themselves.

Solutions to the simplest polynomial equations — called “roots of unity” — have an elegant structure that mathematicians still use to study some of math’s greatest open questions.

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial 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 ...

Polynomial equations involve a variable being raised to powers, such as the degree two polynomial: 1+ 4x - 3x 2 = 0. Until now, a method for solving "higher order" polynomial equations, where x is ...

Most people’s experiences with polynomial equations don’t extend much further than high school algebra and the quadratic formula. Still, these numeric puzzles remain a foundational component ...
