Math teachers have stymied students for hundreds of years by sticking goats in strangely shaped fields. Learn why one grazing goat problem has stumped mathematicians for more than a century. If you’ve ...

Liouville's formula for certain class of linear operator equations of order n is derived. The result is applied to solving a linear second order operator equation. A number of examples which ...

Make sure you are confident in solving one and two-step linear equations and expanding brackets in order to tackle these more complex types of equations. Substitute close substituteIn algebra, to ...

An equation is a mathematical statement showing that two expressions are equal. The two expressions are linked with an equals symbol (=). The unknown variable (often the letter \(x\)) can take any ...

A multinational team of physicists used artificial intelligence (AI) to condense a tremendously complicated quantum problem, which originally required solving over 100,000 equations into only four, ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

She’s right—using simultaneous equations does get really complicated, and if you’d like to send me your work for the solution, I’d love to see it. But the system is also kind of a trick. Like a sudoku ...
