Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have ...

Solving polynomial equations The nature and co-ordinates of roots can be determined using the discriminant and solving polynomials.

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge -- solving higher polynomial equations.

We learn at school how to solve polynomial equations of first and second degree, or linear and quadratic equations. In the early 16th century, Italian mathematicians discovered how to solve ...

The idea of solving equations with power series isn’t entirely new. In 1844, Gotthold Eisenstein used a similar method for a fifth-degree polynomial that couldn’t be solved with radicals.

Algorithmic complexity, a cornerstone of theoretical computer science, examines the intrinsic resource requirements of computational problems and the limits of what can be efficiently computed ...
