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 ...
Algebraic structures, encompassing groups, rings and various classes of associative and nonassociative algebras, provide a unifying framework for symmetries and operations across mathematics and ...
Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...
