Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

\(\mathbf{ax^2 + bx + c = 0}\) where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are numbers. Both \(b\) and/or \(c\) can be equal to zero. In this section, solving equations where \(a >1\) will be considered. To solve a ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the architecture of the machines themselves. Using machine learning, Google might have discovered a way ...

Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...

An equation is a mathematical expression that contains an equals symbol. Equations often contain algebra. Algebra is used in Maths when we do not know the exact number in a calculation - this unknown ...

Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.
