Algebra has become an inequitable barrier to college and career. It’s time to stop making learners factor polynomials. It’s time to start using computers for what they’re good at--crunch big ...

This paper reviews some of the known algorithms for factoring polynomials over finite fields and presents a new deterministic procedure for reducing the problem of factoring an arbitrary polynomial ...

Regression models using fractional polynomials of the covariates have appeared in the literature in an ad hoc fashion over a long period; we provide a unified description and a degree of formalization ...
