Unless you do it in your day to day job, math can be very easy to avoid once you graduate from school. Suddenly those long, complicated equations that your math teacher swore would be trivial are so ...

The theory of Appell polynomials has long intrigued researchers due to its elegant algebraic structure and rich connections with differential equations. At its core, an Appell sequence is ...

A procedure is introduced for solving systems of polynomial equations that need to be solved repetitively with varying coefficients. The procedure is based on the cheater's homotopy, a continuation ...

The internet is torn over an elementary-level math equation, with people suggesting conflicting answers based on their approaches. The simple math problem went viral on X this week, leaving thousands ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 33, No. 148 (Oct., 1979), pp. 1251-1256 (6 pages) A polynomial representation of the hybrid methods for solving ordinary differential equations is presented. The ...

It seems like a 'simple' maths equation, but the worse thing is that in this brainteaser, there's is no obvious answer. The subject splits opinion in schools and universities, and while some people ...

When I took Calculus in college, my Professor would give us substantial partial credit for test problems that we got wrong for minor arithmetic errors, and rightfully so, too. Sometimes even ...
