Fermat's Last Theorem

In 1707, Sir Isaac Newton published a set of identities that would later become very important in the establishment of group theory. He sh...

Albert Girard was born in France in 1595. His family later moved to the Netherlands as religious refugees. Girard attended the Univeristy ...

In today's blog, I will provide the solution to Van Roomen's problem . Van Roomen's problem established François Viète as one ...

In today's blog, I show how we can use the trigonometric identities in my previous blog to simplify Van Roomen's x and A examples....

In today's blog, I will present some simple trigonometric identities that can be used to simplify Van Roomen's examples of x and A ...

So, up to know, I've shown that Van Roomen's monster equation: (see here ): (45)x - (3,795)x 3 + (95,634)x 5 - (1,138,500)x 7 + (...

The third step in solving Van Roomen's problem is realizing its relation to trigonometry. Using F n (x) defined in my last blog (see ...

In my previous blog , I showed how Van Roomen's problem could be reduced to a summation formula: (45)x - (3,795)x 3 + (95,634)x 5 - (1...
