convert/mathorner

convert a polynomial to Matrix Horner form

 Calling Sequence convert( poly, mathorner ) convert( poly, mathorner, var )

Parameters

 poly - polynomial var - (optional) variable

Description

 • convert/mathorner writes the polynomial poly in the name var in horner or nested'' form.
 • If there is only one indeterminate in poly then it is not necessary to specify the third argument var.
 • Horner form allows you to evaluate polynomials of Matrices in the most efficient manner. For a polynomial of degree n there will be n adds and n multiplications needed to evaluate the Horner form.
