The concepts and skills taught in Algebra 1 — solving for different variables, ... decimals and linear equations — all of which will be useful for students in Algebra 1.

According to a 2013 report from the Brookings Institution, the number of students taking Algebra 1 or a more advanced math course (such as geometry) in eighth grade nearly tripled between 1990 and ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.

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 ...

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.
