  2. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

    Polynomial long division is an algorithm that implements the Euclidean division of polynomials, which starting from two polynomials A (the dividend) and B (the divisor) produces, if B is not zero, a quotient Q and a remainder R such that. and either R = 0 or the degree of R is lower than the degree of B. These conditions uniquely define Q and R ...

  3. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    Ruffini's rule. In mathematics, Ruffini's rule is a method for computation of the Euclidean division of a polynomial by a binomial of the form x – r. It was described by Paolo Ruffini in 1809. [1] The rule is a special case of synthetic division in which the divisor is a linear factor.

  4. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    Horner's method. In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation. Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian ...

  5. Polynomial remainder theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_remainder_theorem

    In algebra, the polynomial remainder theorem or little Bézout's theorem (named after Étienne Bézout) [1] is an application of Euclidean division of polynomials. It states that, for every number any polynomial is the sum of and the product by of a polynomial in of degree less than the degree of In particular, is the remainder of the Euclidean ...

  6. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

    In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division. It is mostly taught for division by linear monic polynomials (known as Ruffini's rule), but the method can be generalized to division by any polynomial.

  7. Polynomial greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_greatest_common...

    The inverse of a non zero element a of L is the coefficient u in Bézout's identity au + fv = 1, which may be computed by extended GCD algorithm. (the GCD is 1 because the minimal polynomial f is irreducible). The degrees inequality in the specification of extended GCD algorithm shows that a further division by f is not needed to get deg(u ...

  8. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations. Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine. [1] See big O notation for an explanation of the notation used. Note: Due to the variety of multiplication algorithms, below ...

  9. Factor theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_theorem

    The factor theorem is also used to remove known zeros from a polynomial while leaving all unknown zeros intact, thus producing a lower degree polynomial whose zeros may be easier to find. Abstractly, the method is as follows: [3] Deduce the candidate of zero of the polynomial from its leading coefficient and constant term .
