Videos for Numerical and Polynomial Synthetic Division

I recently completed the videos based on my guest article on Numerical and Polynomial Synthetic Division. The playlist includes both full-length videos and shorts. All related to my discovery or rediscovery of numerical synthetic division.

Article Link

"Numerical and Polynomial Synthetic Division with Negative Digits - IABS Publishing Corp (iabs-publishing.com)"

Video Playlist

Outline of Video series
  • Ep 1. Numerical and Polynomial Synthetic Division Article
    • Overview of the guest article
    • An example of polynomial synthetic division
    • An example of numerical synthetic division
  • Ep 2. Introducing Negative Digits
    • Negative digits are used with numerical synthetic division
    • What they are
    • How to convert our numbers and numbers with mixed digits
  • Ep 3. Vedic Division
    • Similar, but limited to synthetic division
    • Two styles of Vedic division
  • Ep 4. Extended Form of Polynomial Synthetic Division
    • Examples showing synthetic division can be used with any polynomial
    • "Remove and replace" property of synthetic division
    • Note: different from most (or all) textbooks
  • Ep 5. Numerical Synthetic Division
    • 26,763 divided by 58
    • Same division problem, shown through 3 different ways
  • Ep 6. More Examples of Numerical Synthetic Division
    • Ex1. 8889÷37
    • Ex2. 999,999÷285
    • Ex3. 34568÷7825
  • Ep 7. Verifying Irrational and Complex Zeros with Synthetic Division
    • Ex1. Check if 1 ± √5 are zeros of 2𝑥^3 − 5𝑥^2 − 6𝑥 + 4
    • Ex2. Check if 1 + √5 is a zero of 2𝑥^3 − 5𝑥^2 − 6𝑥 + 4
    • Ex3. Verify that −2 + 3𝑖 is a solution of 𝑥^2 + 4𝑥 + 13
  • Ep 8. Synthetic Division of Multivariable Polynomials
    • Ex1. (6𝑥^4−7𝑥^3 𝑦+5𝑥^2 𝑦^2+7𝑥𝑦^3−11𝑦^4)÷(3𝑥^2−2𝑥𝑦+3𝑦^2)
    • Ex2. (𝑥^2+2𝑥^2 𝑦−2𝑥𝑦+4𝑥𝑦^2−3𝑦^2)÷(𝑥+𝑦)
Ep 1 gives an overview of the article. Ep. 2-4 gives the foundation for the discovery of numerical synthetic division. Ep 5-6 introduce numerical synthetic division and demonstrate the algorithm with various examples. Ep 7-8 discuss interesting ways synthetic division can be used, based on Ep 4.

In the future, I may produce more videos related to synthetic division as I research other ways in which polynomial and numerical synthetic division can be used.
