LIFE HISTORY OF THE POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION
In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (or in determinates)
and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-
negative integer exponents. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate (or variable), x,
is x
2
4x + 7, which is a quadratic polynomial.
Polynomials appear in a wide variety of areas of mathematics and science. For example, they are
used to form polynomial equations, which encode a wide range of problems, from elementary word
problems to complicated problems in the sciences; they are used to define polynomial functions,
which appear in settings ranging from basic chemistry and physics to economics and social science;
they are used in calculus and numerical analysis to approximate other functions. In advanced
mathematics, polynomials are used to construct polynomial rings and algebraic varieties, central
concepts in algebra and algebraic geometry.
An algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for
calculating a function. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions
describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined
successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The
transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known
as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.
Though al-Khwrizm's algorism referred to the rules of performing arithmetic using HinduArabic
numerals and the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations, a partial formalization of
what would become the modern algorithm began with attempts to solve
the Entscheidungsproblem (the "decision problem") posed by David Hilbert in 1928. Subsequent
formalizations were framed as attempts to define "effective calculability" or "effective method"; those
formalizations included the GdelHerbrandKleene recursive functions of 1930, 1934 and
1935, Alonzo Church's lambda calculus of 1936,Emil Post's "Formulation 1" of 1936, and Alan
Turing's Turing machines of 19367 and 1939. Giving a formal definition of algorithms,
corresponding to the intuitive notion, remains a challenging problem.
The word algorithm comes from the name of the 9th century Persian mathematician Abu Abdullah
Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi, whose work built upon that of the 7th-century Indian
mathematician Brahmagupta. The word algorism originally referred only to the rules of performing arithmetic
using HinduArabic numerals but evolved via European Latin translation of Al-Khwarizmi's name into
algorithm by the 18th century. The use of the word evolved to include all definite procedures for solving
problems or performing tasks.


Contributions to Society, Technology, or Field of Mathematics


Contributions to society- it can help a lot of
students, to know this kind of lesson. Even
though it cannot be used in real life yet students
should know this kind of lesson in mathematics.
Contributions to Technology- it can help a lot in
solving equations, in simple or hard problems. It
can also help complicated problems in science.
Contributions to Field of Mathematics- it can
help a lot in solving the mathematical equations
or problems simple or complicated problems
Polynomial is very useful.

REFLECTION
My reflection about my
work, it is so hard to do,
to find and to research.
But I enjoyed because I
wont be able to know
how, when, why the
Polynomial was invented.
And this was a project so
I did it very well.


REFERENCES
The references that I used
were all Google because
we dont have any books
that contain about that
kind of questions that
youre asking for. But
this was made by me
alone.
