A pattern or a sequence is a set of numbers that are connected in some way. All sequences have a rule. For example, sometimes the numbers might count on by 5 each time, other times they might be ...

Each term in this sequence is doubling (multiplying by 2) to create the next term. Number sequences are sets of numbers that follow a pattern or a rule. If the rule is to multiply or divide by a ...

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 ...

One of the curious properties of mathematics is its beauty. But exactly what mathematicians mean by beauty is hard to capture. Perhaps the most famous example is Euler’s relation, e iπ + 1 = 0, which ...

Some strange mathematical sequences are always whole numbers — until they’re not. The puzzling patterns have revealed ties to graph theory and prime numbers, awing mathematicians. Simple, yes, but ...
