Computing With Polynomials: A Personal Odyssey
Ruchira S. Datta · 2002
This paper chronicles my recent work in polynomial computation. Rather than focusing on a single coherent theme, my narrative includes the diverse nitty-gritty details I had to take care of and the choices that I made -- and in some cases, rethought multiple times -- while pursuing my dual goals of solving particular problems and finding the best framework for solving similar problems in the future. My own future efforts, at least, will benefit from this consolidation of my experience; I certainly hope that others may find some interesting nuggets among my various adventures as well. Here I will focus more on the computational aspects than on the mathematical aspects
