In 1886 the mathematician Leopold Kronecker famously said, “God Himself made the whole numbers — everything else is the work of men.” Indeed, mathematicians have introduced new sets of numbers besides ...

THE general outlines and the methods employed by the author will be familiar to readers who have seen the first volume. He has made a study of standard works and papers by Bachmann, Hensel, Hubert, ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Graduate students in algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry courses build upon knowledge first learned in grade school. These are the best math schools for algebra / number theory / algebraic ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

The vast majority of students won’t take algebra until middle or high school. But teachers can start laying the groundwork for this pivotal class a lot sooner, some researchers say—and instilling ...

THIS is the first volume of Prof. Hancock's work and is intended as an introduction to the second volume. Its size shows that he is engaged in no light task. His object is to help in making the theory ...
