We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

It is a handbook covering the classical theory of finding roots of a univariate polynomial, emphasizing computational aspects, especially the representation and manipulation of algebraic numbers, ...

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, factorising a polynomial requires some ...
