Polynomials and Graphics Interpolation

6.1 Polynomial Expressions

The content of this chapter refers to work with polynomials and polynomial interpolation. We will study the commands that enable MATLAB to perform all operations with polynomials, working with their roots and polynomial interpolation.

MATLAB enables several commands for handling algebraic polynomial expressions. Let’s take a look at some of these commands:

  • conv(a, b) gives the vector with the coefficients of the product of polynomials whose coefficients are elements of the vectors a and b.
  • [q, r] = deconv(a, b) gives the vector q with the coefficients of the quotient of ...
