Researchers Solve “Impossible” Math Problem After 200 Years

A mathematician has developed an algebraic solution to an equation that was long thought to be unsolvable. A groundbreaking discovery from a UNSW Sydney mathematician may finally offer a solution to one of algebra’s toughest problems: how to solve high-degree polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations where a variable (like x) is raised to various powers. [...]
