Special number sequences—such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Horadam and Jacobsthal families—exhibit rich algebraic structures that underpin a broad spectrum of mathematical theory and application. At their ...

Number sequences are sets of numbers that follow a pattern or a rule. Each number in a sequence is called a term. There are some special sequences that you should recognise. The most important of ...

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, ...

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 ...
