Cracking the quadratic code
In an earlier post, we looked at expanding binomial products. Remember how the result of the expansion is a mixture of the inputs — the numbers in the input do not appear in the result, but the numbers that …

Solving Equations
A typical maths textbook presents equation solving in a very ordered, structured way. Starting with one-step equations such as 
, they introduce the single step solution process
before moving onto two-step equations such as 
. For these equations …
Expanding Binomial Products
Welcome to the first mathematical post in The Mathenæum Blog. In this post, I have chosen to discuss expanding binomial products, because in many ways binomial products act as a bridge between elementary algebraic work, and more advanced applications …
