The deterministic factorization algorithm for polynomials over finite fields that was recently introduced by the author is based on a new type of linearization of the factorization problem. The main ...

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 ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, where the variable is raised to the fifth power or more. Mathematicians ...

Adding to his extensive collection of simple but effective and clear math apps, Esa Helttula has now introduced Polynomial Long Division. Most of Esa's previous apps have been about arithmetic, ...
