MUCH use is made in combinatorial problems of generating functions in the form of polynomials and infinite power series, these being obtained by the manipulation of other algebraic expressions. In ...

A polynomial is an algebraic expression involving many terms and can be factorised using long division or synthetic division. Laws of logarithms and exponents Revise what logarithms are and how to use ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the future of learning, work and human development. Okay, we cut a bad deal 20 years ago and it’s time to fix it.

I’m neither a mathematician nor math teacher. Plenty of the readers of this blog do fall into those categories, however, and today I’m seeking them out. A new report by Achieve, released today, shows ...

A mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve. The equations are fundamental to maths as well as science, where they have broad applications ...
