SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 11, No. 6 (Dec., 1974), pp. 1087-1104 (18 pages) A composite algorithm has been designed for finding zeros of real polynomials. The algorithm has proved to be ...
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 ...
Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...
