Horner's Scheme and Related Algorithms (UMAP)

Author: Werner C. Rheinboldt


The unit introduces Horner's scheme for evaluating polynomials, and generalizes with ease to related algorithms for conversion from base b notation to decimal notation for integers, polynomial division, and evaluation of derivatives of polynomials. Students apply Horner's scheme and the related algorithms of the unit.
