Higher-degree polynomials give rise to more complicated figures. Third-degree polynomial functions with three variables, for example, produce smooth but twisty surfaces embedded in three dimensions.

This function is a polynomial in two dimensions, with terms up to degree 5. It is nonlinear, and it is smooth despite being complex, which is common for computer experiment functions (Lim et al., 2002 ...

Most people’s experiences with polynomial equations don’t extend much further than high school algebra and the quadratic formula. Still, these numeric puzzles remain a foundational component ...

The sums of powers of x, which we call polynomials, are the simplest kind of function in mathematics. In this case, the equation is a bit more complex than an ordinary polynomial because the sum ...

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 ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such as the degree two polynomial: 1+ 4x-- 3x 2 = 0.. The equations are fundamental to maths as well as science, where they have ...
