This paper introduces an applied problem-solving task, set in the context of cryptography and embedded in a network of computer-based tools. This designed learning environment engaged students in a ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

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 ...

Solving one of the oldest algebra problems isn't a bad claim to fame, and it's a claim Norman Wildberger can now make: The mathematician has solved what are known as higher-degree polynomial equations ...

Mahesh Ramesh Kakde, winner of this year’s Vigyan Yuva Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award for Mathematics, is a number theorist at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, who studies polynomial ...

Polynomial equations are fundamental concepts in mathematics that define relationships between numbers and variables in a structured manner. In mathematics, various equations are composed using ...

A characterization is presented of the class of stationary processes that have polynomial covariance functions of degree less than or equal to 4 on an interval. The results extend to isotropic random ...
