SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 11, No. 6 (Dec., 1974), pp. 1087-1104 (18 pages) A composite algorithm has been designed for finding zeros of real polynomials. The algorithm has proved to be ...

A C implementation of Niederreiter's algorithm for factoring polynomials over F 2 is described. The most time-consuming part of this algorithm, which consists of setting up and solving a certain ...

In 2015, the poet-turned-mathematician June Huh helped solve a problem posed about 50 years earlier. The problem was about complex mathematical objects called “matroids” and combinations of points and ...

If \((x \pm h)\) is a factor of a polynomial, then the remainder will be zero. Conversely, if the remainder is zero, then \((x \pm h)\) is a factor. Often ...

If the discriminant (b² - 4ac) is negative, the roots are complex numbers. Complex roots always come in conjugate pairs (a + ...

A polynomial is a chain of algebraic terms with various values of powers. There are some words and phrases to look out for when you're dealing with polynomials: \(6{x^5} - 3{x^2} + 7\) is a polynomial ...
