Jinyoung Park, a research professor at Stanford University, has recently captured the attention of the mathematical community by solving a major conjecture in discrete mathematics with a six-page ...

Mathematician Moon Duchin answers the internet's burning questions about mathematics. What actually is an algorithm? Is it possible to explain Pi (π) in words? Is geometric group theory just Anabelian ...

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 ...

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 ...

A mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve. The equations are fundamental to maths as well as science, where they have broad applications ...
