Google's latest animated Doodle celebrates the quadratic equation, transforming its homepage into an interactive classroom.

Math. It’s that five-letter word that still manages to haunt the dreams of both high school sophomores and overworked college students alike. Derivatives, matrices, word problems that somehow involve ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

The Simulated Bifurcation (SB) algorithm is a fast and highly parallelizable state-of-the-art algorithm for quadratic combinatorial optimization inspired by quantum physics and spins dynamics. It ...

Abstract: Many methods are known to solve the problem of real-valued and static quadratic programming (QP) effectively. However, few of them are still useful to solve the time-varying QP problem in ...

The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

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 ...

We consider the optimal scheduling of hydropower plants in a hydrothermal interconnected system. This problem, of outmost importance for large-scale power systems with a high proportion of hydraulic ...

Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.

Courtney Gibbons is affiliated with the Association for Women in Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society. You might remember learning about the quadratic formula to figure out the solutions ...

Quadratic equations are a vital part of the Quantitative Aptitude section in the IBPS PO 2025 exam. Questions on this topic are frequently asked and often come with high scoring potential.

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...
