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 ...

Algebraic curves and polynomial systems form a cornerstone of modern computational and theoretical mathematics. These structures are defined by polynomial equations and exhibit rich geometric and ...

Like most engineers, I find myself drawn to complex puzzles. And the more complicated the problem, the more intrigued I am to solve it. This love for problem-solving was nurtured at a very young age.

"Even the +, −, =, and x signs we take for granted only came into widespread use in the 17th century. Which means that the earlier algebraists we know of … all had expressed their equations mostly in ...
