In this video, we provide essential "math help" by demonstrating how to "solve" various algebraic and "quadratic equations".

Master negative fractional exponents with these simple step-by-step examples. Following up on our previous lesson, this ...

Solving one of the oldest algebra problems isn't a bad claim to fame, and it's a claim Norman Wildberger can now make: The mathematician has solved what are known as higher-degree polynomial equations ...

Algebra I should be a gateway—not gatekeeper—to students’ future academic success, in college and beyond. So says the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is issuing a challenge to developers and ...

If Ms. Smith’s 8th grade algebra class works through 10 word problems in an hour, and Ms. Jones’ class works through 10 equation problems during the same time, which class is likely to learn more math ...

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 ...

For many students, algebraic formulas are "abracadabra": they lack symbol sense. Symbol sense includes identifying the structure of algebraic formulas, giving meaning to them, and reasoning with and ...

It is rare for opinion on any of my columns to be evenly divided. But the flood of comments I received on my piece about getting rid of Algebra II had good arguments on both sides, and indications of ...

Linear algebra is central to many algorithms in engineering, science, and machine learning; hence, accelerating it would have tremendous economic impact. Quantum computing has been proposed for this ...
