An algebraic equation contains one or more letters in it. Each letter in the equation is called a variable. A variable can change in value. We guess at different values for each letter until our ...

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 ...

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.

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...

So far as I can ascertain, the method referred to is not known, at least in its complete form. It is a development of a method described by me in a previous paper (“Verb Functions, with Notes on the ...

"Even the +, −, =, and x signs we take for granted only came into widespread use in the 17th century. Which means that the earlier algebraists we know of … all had expressed their equations mostly in ...

PROF. RONALD ROSS gave in NATURE of October 29, 1908, an article upon “A Method of solving Algebraic Equations.” Without going into the matter itself, or into details concerning it, I beg to state ...
