Algorithms for polynomial computation over finite fields form a crucial domain in computational mathematics, with extensive applications ranging from cryptography and ...

The classical Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) architecture represents the best solution for the implementation of many general purpose algorithms. This structure is found in DSPs, and also in some ...

I observed an Algebra class recently where students were trying to multiply two polynomials, (x + 5) and (3x 2 - 5x - 4). And as I roamed the room, I noticed several students who were stuck because ...

This summer, battle lines were drawn over a simple math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? If you divide 8 by 2 first, you get 16, but if you multiply 2 by (2 + 2) first, you get 1. So, which answer is right?

Vesselin Dimitrov’s proof of the Schinzel-Zassenhaus conjecture quantifies the way special values of polynomials push each other apart. In the physical world, objects often push each other apart in an ...
