An algebraic equation contains one or more letters in it. Each letter in the equation is called a variable. A variable can change in value. We guess at different values for each letter until our ...

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 ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

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 ...

We devise explicit partitioned numerical methods for second–order-in-time scalar stochastic differential equations, using one Gaussian random variable per timestep. The construction proceeds by ...
