polynomial

description

• A simple implementation of a polynomial.
• Rust port of my first ever coding project. (Was written in C++. Boy what a mess that was!)

roadmap

• For arbitrary polynomials.
  • "no zero-coeff terms in memory" invariant.
  • latex compatible print.
  • +, -, *, /, % operators.
  • value at.
  • derivative, integral.
  • finding all real roots.
  • plotting multiple polynomials in a finite range.
  • better root finding (using descartes rule, variable dx ...).

code

• The code is written in stable rust.
• gnuplot is used for plotting.

documentation

• The documentation for the code is itself.
• There is minimal documentation for some items, use cargo doc --open to view it.

usage

• The polynomial implementation is provided as a library.
• The usage is illustrated in examples under examples/ directory.
• To run an example use cargo run --example <example-name-without-rs-extension>.
• Get it in your crate using Cargo.toml dependency entry polynomial = { git = "https://github.com/buggedbit/polynomial" }.

demonstration

Arithmetic operations on polynomials are illustrated below.

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

• Remainder
