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 professor claims that a long-standing algebra problem can be solved with a new method that avoids irrational numbers.

The method developed by Norman Wildberger, PhD, an honorary professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW Sydney, solves one of algebra’s oldest challenges by finding a general solution to equations where the variable is raised to the fifth power or higher.
