\(\mathbf{ax^2 + bx + c = 0}\) where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are numbers. Both \(b\) and/or \(c\) can be equal to zero. In this section, solving equations where \(a >1 ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...

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.

This photograph does a pretty good job of "describing" ripples. But a mathematician could do it with greater precision and predictive power. Image credit: andressolo, Flickr, CC BY 2.0 "How is it ...

News of a subtle quadratic equation breakthrough has brought algebra forward from the very back of many people’s minds, and algebra is always part of the “when will I ever use this?” rubric people use ...
