Ah, math. Take an easy problem we all studied in our teens, scale it up by just a couple of steps, and suddenly you’re facing something that has stumped generations of the world’s best mathematicians.

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method was ...

Polynomial equations are fundamental concepts in mathematics that define relationships between numbers and variables in a structured manner. In mathematics, various equations are composed using ...

Unless you do it in your day to day job, math can be very easy to avoid once you graduate from school. Suddenly those long, complicated equations that your math teacher swore would be trivial are so ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 33, No. 148 (Oct., 1979), pp. 1251-1256 (6 pages) A polynomial representation of the hybrid methods for solving ordinary differential equations is presented. The ...

The theory of Appell polynomials has long intrigued researchers due to its elegant algebraic structure and rich connections with differential equations. At its core, an Appell sequence is ...
