Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

\(y = x + 3\) is a linear equation and \(y = x^2 + 3x\) is a quadratic equation. If the product of two numbers is zero, then one or both numbers must also be equal to zero. To solve, put each bracket ...

Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A pair of Kenosha math teachers have come up with a new solution to bring their lesson plans to life. All you need is a sling shot and a water balloon. "Our goal is to have the ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
