Marcus du Sautoy uses combinations of peaches and plums and a set of scales, to show how simultaneous equations can be solved. This method didn’t appear in the West until the 19th century, but had ...

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 ...

Okay, so I know that as soon as someone tells me what method to use, I'm gonna instantly remember it, but right now, I can think of only 1 way to solve simultaneous equations, and that doesn't work so ...

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 ...

Solving algebraic equations over GF(2) is a problem which has a wide range of applications, including NP-Hard problems and problems related to cryptography. The existing mature algorithms are ...

Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.
