(+draft task. Also, how is this different from long division?) |

Here is an extended synthetic division algorithm, which means that it supports a divisor polynomial (instead of a monomial or a binomial). It also supports non-monic polynomials (polynomials which first coefficient is different than 1). |
Here is an extended synthetic division algorithm, which means that it supports a divisor polynomial (instead of a monomial or a binomial). It also supports non-monic polynomials (polynomials which first coefficient is different than 1). Polynomials are represented by lists of coefficients with increasing degree (left-most is the constant, right-most is the major degree). |
