Mathematician Solves Algebra's Oldest Problem - MSN
Though some approximate solutions for higher-degree polynomials have been developed in the years since, Wildberger contends that these don't belong to pure algebra.
Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.
Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.
A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations.
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.
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 ...
