The basic facts about separable extensions of discrete fields and factoring polynomials are developed in the constructive spirit of Errett Bishop. The ability to factor polynomials is shown to be ...

Logarithms greatly simplify mathematical operations. Factoring, however, presents a problem: Pocket calculators are clumsy when it comes to that operation. The program factor.bas (Listing 1) is a ...

A three-complex-parameter class of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle associated with basic hypergeometric or q-hypergeometric functions is considered. To be precise, we consider the ...
