Learn about zeros and multiplicity. The zeroes of a polynomial expression are the values of x for which the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. They are the values of the variable for which the ...

Do you know? Polynomials have relevance to nearly all the sciences. Astrophysicists use them to calculate a star’s velocity and distance from another object in space. Likewise, they are important in ...

In 2015, the poet-turned-mathematician June Huh helped solve a problem posed about 50 years earlier. The problem was about complex mathematical objects called “matroids” and combinations of points and ...

This function is a polynomial in two dimensions, with terms up to degree 5. It is nonlinear, and it is smooth despite being complex, which is common for computer ...
