Frequently Asked Questions

What is Horner's method?

Horner's method rewrites a polynomial into nested multiplications — for example x² − 3x + 2 becomes ((1·x − 3)·x + 2) — reducing the number of multiplications and improving numerical stability.

What do the derivatives tell me?

The first derivative P′(x) gives the slope of the curve at x — where it is zero the curve has a stationary point. The second derivative P″(x) tells you whether that point is a maximum, minimum or inflection.
