A UNSW mathematician just cracked a math problem that’s stumped geniuses for nearly 200 years—solving those wild equations where the variable is raised to the fifth power or higher! Instead of using those never-ending irrational numbers, he and his team used something called hyper-Catalan numbers and found a new pattern called the Geode. This could totally change how computers and scientists solve big math problems. Math nerds, this is huge! #MathBreakthrough #STEM #Innovation #ScienceNews #MathNerd #Science
