Algebra: In algebra, expressions describe relationships between numbers. Algebraic problems are equations that ask you to solve for unknown quantities, called variables.

Graph of a quadratic equation and its roots via the quadratic formula. Jacob Rus, CC BY-SA Equations and plots like these are part of algebra, but they’re not the whole story.

The word "algebra" may evoke memories of complicated-looking polynomial equations like ax² + bx + c = 0 or plots of polynomial functions like y = ax² + bx + c.

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² ...

Mathematician solves algebra's oldest problem using intriguing new number sequences A mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve Date ...

Although solving lower order polynomials—where the x in an equation is raised up to the fourth power—is often a simple task, things get complicated once you start seeing powers of five or greater.

Until now, a method for solving "higher order" polynomial equations, where x is raised to the power of five or higher, had proven elusive. Wildberger has developed a fresh approach to the problem ...
