We show that the binary expansions of algebraic numbers do not form secure pseudorandom sequences; given sufficiently many initial bits of an algebraic number, its minimal polynomial can be ...

The purpose of all of the developmental mathematics courses is to support student success academically and beyond by advancing critical thinking and reasoning skills. Specifically in Algebra II, as a ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 11, No. 6 (Dec., 1974), pp. 1087-1104 (18 pages) A composite algorithm has been designed for finding zeros of real polynomials. The algorithm has proved to be ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...
