  2. Monic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monic_polynomial

    Let () be a polynomial equation, where P is a univariate polynomial of degree n.If one divides all coefficients of P by its leading coefficient, one obtains a new polynomial equation that has the same solutions and consists to equate to zero a monic polynomial.

  3. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms.

    Monic morphism, a special kind of morphism in category theory Monic polynomial , a polynomial whose leading coefficient is one A synonym for monogenic , which has multiple uses in mathematics

  5. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    Is a subfield of calculus [30] concerned with the study of the rates at which quantities change. It is one of the two traditional divisions of calculus, the other being integral calculus, the study of the area beneath a curve. [31] differential equation Is a mathematical equation that relates some function with its derivatives. In applications ...

    The roots of the characteristic polynomial () are the eigenvalues of ().If there are n distinct eigenvalues , …,, then () is diagonalizable as () =, where D is the diagonal matrix and V is the Vandermonde matrix corresponding to the λ 's: = [], = [].

  7. Polynomial greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_greatest_common...

    Then, take the product of all common factors. At this stage, we do not necessarily have a monic polynomial, so finally multiply this by a constant to make it a monic polynomial. This will be the GCD of the two polynomials as it includes all common divisors and is monic. Example one: Find the GCD of x 2 + 7x + 6 and x 2 − 5x − 6.

  8. Newton's identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_identities

    Applied to the monic polynomial + = with all coefficients a k considered as free parameters, this means that every symmetric polynomial expression S(x 1,...,x n) in its roots can be expressed instead as a polynomial expression P(a 1,...,a n) in terms of its coefficients only, in other words without requiring knowledge of the roots.

  9. Finite field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

    The polynomial factors into linear factors over a field of order q. More precisely, this polynomial is the product of all monic polynomials of degree one over a field of order q. This implies that, if q = p n then X q − X is the product of all monic irreducible polynomials over GF(p), whose degree divides n.
