  2. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    In elementary algebra, FOIL is a mnemonic for the standard method of multiplying two binomials [ 1] —hence the method may be referred to as the FOIL method. The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product: The general form is. Note that a is both a "first" term and an "outer" term; b is both a "last" and "inner" term, and so forth.

  3. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    Alternatively, Horner's method also refers to a method for approximating the roots of polynomials, described by Horner in 1819. It is a variant of the Newton–Raphson method made more efficient for hand calculation by the application of Horner's rule. It was widely used until computers came into general use around 1970.

  4. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    All polynomials with coefficients in a unique factorization domain (for example, the integers or a field) also have a factored form in which the polynomial is written as a product of irreducible polynomials and a constant. This factored form is unique up to the order of the factors and their multiplication by an invertible constant.

  5. Mathematics of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_cyclic...

    The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is based on division in the ring of polynomials over the finite field GF (2) (the integers modulo 2 ), that is, the set of polynomials where each coefficient is either zero or one, and arithmetic operations wrap around. Any string of bits can be interpreted as the coefficients of a message polynomial of this ...

  6. Finite field arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field_arithmetic

    By multiplying a by every number in the field until the product is one. This is a brute-force search. Since the nonzero elements of GF(p n) form a finite group with respect to multiplication, a p n −1 = 1 (for a ≠ 0), thus the inverse of a is a p n −2. By using the extended Euclidean algorithm.

  7. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

    Abel–Ruffini theorem. In mathematics, the Abel–Ruffini theorem (also known as Abel's impossibility theorem) states that there is no solution in radicals to general polynomial equations of degree five or higher with arbitrary coefficients. Here, general means that the coefficients of the equation are viewed and manipulated as indeterminates .

  8. Polynomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_expansion

    Polynomial expansion. In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by ...

  9. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    Computation of a cyclic redundancy check is derived from the mathematics of polynomial division, modulo two. In practice, it resembles long division of the binary message string, with a fixed number of zeroes appended, by the "generator polynomial" string except that exclusive or operations replace subtractions.
