ABSTRACT
Polynomial division and the factor and remainder theorems The study of algebra revolves around using and manipulating polynomials. Polynomials are used in engineering, computer programming, software engineering, in management and in business. Mathematicians, statisticians and engineers of all sciences employ the use of polynomials to solve problems; among them are aerospace engineers, chemical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, environmental engineers, industrial engineers, materials engineers, mechanical engineers and nuclear engineers. The factor and remainder theorems are also employed in engineering software and electronic mathematical applications, through which polynomials of higher degrees and longer arithmetic structures are divided without any complexity. The study of polynomial division and the factor and remainder theorems is therefore of some importance in engineering.
