Computational Models with Polynomials
15.1 Introduction
Linear and quadratic equations are special cases of polynomial functions. These
equations are of higher order than quadratic equations and more general mathemati-
cal methods are used to solve them.
This chapter presents general concepts and techniques to evaluate and solve poly-
nomial functions with emphasis on numerical and graphical methods. Solutions im-
plemented with the C programming language and the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL)
are presented and discussed.
15.2 General Forms of Polynomial Functions
Linear and quadratic equations are special cases of polynomial functions. The de- ...
