A transformation that reduces coefficient count to one greatly simplifies the task of finding roots. has roots that are solvable by classical techniques involving the computation of inverse cosines, ...

The Mathematical Gazette is the original journal of the Mathematical Association and it is now over a century old. Its readership is a mixture of school teachers, college and university lecturers, ...

Building on two centuries' experience, Taylor & Francis has grown rapidly over the last two decades to become a leading international academic publisher. The Group publishes over 800 journals and over ...

First, we need to find which number when substituted into the equation will give the answer zero. \(f(1) = {(1)^3} + 4{(1)^2} + (1) - 6 = 0\) Therefore \((x - 1)\)is a factor. Factorise the quadratic ...

Principal stresses are defined as the maximum and minimum normal stresses in a plane. Principal stresses are perpendicular to each other and oriented such that shear stresses are zero. For 3D stress ...
