Polynomials
Series: Problem Books in Mathematics

The book extends the high school curriculum and provides a backdrop for later study
in calculus, modern algebra, numerical analysis, and complex variable theory. Exercises
introduce many techniques and topics in the theory of equations, such as evolution and
factorization of polynomials, solution of equations, interpolation, approximation, and
congruences. The theory is not treated formally, but rather illustrated through examples.
Over 300 problems drawn from journals, contests, and examinations test understanding,
ingenuity, and skill. Each chapter ends with a list of hints; there are answers to many of
the exercises and solutions to all of the problems. In addition, 69 "explorations" invite the
reader to investigate research problems and related topics.
