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, ...

Many dynamic processes can be described mathematically with the aid of stochastic partial differential equations. Scientists have found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such ...

The evidence for the Big Bang is overwhelming, but we cannot describe what goes on in that event. We can’t accurately call it a moment; time as we know it did not exist. Our science stops making sense ...
