Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have ...

How can the tiniest particles and the vast structure of the universe be explained using the same kind of mathematics? This puzzle is the focus of recent research by mathematicians Claudia Fevola ...

In this note, we extend the result to the case of quadratic polynomials. The Monthly publishes articles, as well as notes and other features, about mathematics and the profession. Its readers span a ...

By exploring positive geometry, mathematicians are revealing hidden shapes that may unify particle physics and cosmology, offering new ways to understand both collisions in accelerators and the ...

We consider discrete orthogonal polynomial ensembles which are discrete analogues of the orthogonal polynomial ensembles in random matrix theory. These ensembles occur in certain problems in ...
