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 ...

We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the diagram below: In diagram A, we can see that this parabola has 2 roots, diagram B has 1 root and diagram C has no roots. What type of ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

Three researchers from Bristol University are seeking to develop methods for analysing the distribution of integer solutions to polynomial equations. How do you know when a polynomial equation has ...

Quadratic equations and other equations is another important topic which is often given in the entrances to test the aptitude of the aspirants. Students find this chapter tricky to handle and hence we ...

Long considered solved, David Hilbert’s question about seventh-degree polynomials is leading researchers to a new web of mathematical connections. Success is rare in math. Just ask Benson Farb. “The ...
