We study the distribution of the complex roots of random polynomials of degree n with i.i.d. coefficients. Using techniques related to Rice's treatment of the real roots question, we derive, under ...
Founded in 1888, to further mathematical research and scholarship, the 30,000-member American Mathematical Society provides programs and services that promote mathematical research and its uses, ...
Hilbert’s 12th problem asked for novel analogues of the roots of unity, the building blocks for certain number systems. Now, over 100 years later, two mathematicians have produced them. Problems in ...
