Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

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 ...

A three-complex-parameter class of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle associated with basic hypergeometric or q-hypergeometric functions is considered. To be precise, we consider the ...

New work establishes a tighter connection between the rank of a polynomial and the extent to which it favors particular outputs. When you deposit a quarter and turn the crank on a gumball machine, the ...
