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 ...

Hirzebruch's problem at the interface of topology and algebraic geometry has occupied mathematicians for more than 50 years. A professor of mathematics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet in Munich ...

Attacking a slew of calculus problems the night before a quiz is never my idea of a good time, but on a recent Saturday night, one problem in particular drew my ire — then, the more I mulled over it, ...

Prior research has shown that tutored problem solving with intelligent software tutors is an effective instructional method, and that worked examples are an effective complement to this kind of ...

We present a numerical method for finding extreme examples of identities related to the uniform abc-conjecture for algebraic number fields. Journal Information This journal, begun in 1943 as ...

MR. SMITH's small “Algebra” has deservedly obtained high favour in our schools for its lucidity. The work before us aims at presenting the solutions, not always necessarily in the shortest way, but ...
