For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, where the variable is raised to the fifth power or more. Mathematicians have long believed that a general solution for these equations in terms of square or cube roots,

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for two centuries,

University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger has unveiled a potentially game-changing mathematical theory.

Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations.

Put your math skills to the test with this fun and tricky matchstick puzzle. It's all about logic, patterns, and clever thinking. Can you figure it out?

In 1900, at the grand amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, David Hilbert stood before a crowd of mathematicians and delivered a speech that would echo through the next century. He outlined 10 — and later 23 — unsolved problems that he believed would shape the future of mathematics.
