The “State Change Equation” for the mechanical calculation of the overhead cables for transportation and distribution of electric power is a cubic polynomial fu ...

A University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney mathematician has revealed the first successful solution of an ‘impossible’ equation once considered unsolvable. Described as algebra’s oldest problem, ...

A mathematician has developed an algebraic solution to an equation that was long thought to be unsolvable. A groundbreaking discovery from a UNSW Sydney mathematician may finally offer a solution to ...

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 ...

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

"One of the equations we tested was a famous cubic equation used by Wallis in the 17th century to demonstrate Newton's method. Our solution worked beautifully," he said. Polynomials and the ...

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.

Although solving lower order polynomials—where the x in an equation is raised up to the fourth power—is often a simple task, things get complicated once you start seeing powers of five or greater.

Higher order polynomial equations play a fundamental role in both math and science, assisting in everything from writing computer programs to describing the movement of planets.

For pt.2 see ibid., vol. 26, no. 4, p. 90-100 (2006). Our ultimate goal here is twofold. We want to get insight into how cubic polynomials work, what are the invariants/covariants and their geometric ...

Cubic and quartic functions are the natural extension of polynomials after quadratics, representing higher-order polynomials with degrees three and four respectively. Understanding these polynomials ...
