In 2015, the poet-turned-mathematician June Huh helped solve a problem posed about 50 years earlier. The problem was about complex mathematical objects called “matroids” and combinations of points and ...

Anyone who’s taken classes in geometry, algebra, trigonometry or other advanced math forms has certainly encountered the graphing calculator before. These multi-function devices make incredibly ...

Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

Adam Hayes, Ph.D., CFA, is a financial writer with 15+ years Wall Street experience as a derivatives trader. Besides his extensive derivative trading expertise, Adam is an expert in economics and ...

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, such ...

Python allows free creation of plots, unlike expensive, stagnant graphing calculators. Import NumPy and Matplotlib for basic linear and polynomial plots in Python. Seaborn lets you make statistical ...

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 – 1) or ...

Combinatorial counting problems have rich connections to many areas of science including to algebra, probability, and dynamical systems in mathematics as well as to theoretical computer science and ...
