cargo test

Examples

A new polynomial can be created from a vector of coefficients and an indeterminate as follows:

use polynom::polynomial::Polynomial;

let polynomial = Polynomial::new(vec![1f64, 2f64, 3f64], 'x');

assert_eq!(polynomial.as_string(), String::from("f(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2")

Credits

This was inspired by Ch.1, Section 4 of Jeremy Kun's A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics. This library is a port of the polynomial.py class Kun provides in the GitHub repo that accompanies the book.

Note

This library is incomplete and definitely not optimal. you probably shouldn't use it in production.
