When about 400 students at Alief Hastings High School failed or became "repeaters" in algebra classes last year, it was a problem. Now, Tremain Nelson, a former NASA electrical engineer, is providing ...

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. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

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 ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...
