<h2 class="chapter">27 Polynomial Manipulations</h2>

<p>In Octave, a polynomial is represented by its coefficients (arranged
in descending order).  For example, a vector <var>c</var> of length
N+1 corresponds to the following polynomial of order
 <var>N</var>

<pre class="example">     p(x) = <var>c</var>(1) x^<var>N</var> + ... + <var>c</var>(<var>N</var>) x + <var>c</var>(<var>N</var>+1).
</pre>
