Poly to Coef

Given a polynomial, returns a vector containing the

coefficients of the polynomial. With a variable as second

argument, returns the coefficients of a polynomial with respect

to the variable. With a list of variables as the second

argument, returns the internal format of the polynomial.

symb2poly(Expr,[Var])

or

symb2poly(Expr, {Var1, Var2,…})

Example:

symb2poly(x*3+2.1) returns [3 2.1]

Coef to Poly

With one vector as argument, returns a polynomial in x with

coefficients (in decreasing order) obtained from the argument

vector. With a variable as second argument, returns a similar

polynomial in that variable.

poly2symb(Vector, [Var]))

Example:

poly2symb([1,2,3],x) returns (x+2)*x+3

Roots to Coef

Returns a vector containing the coefficients (in decreasing

order) of the univariate polynomial whose roots are specified

in the argument vector.

pcoef(List)

Example:

pcoeff({1,0,0,0,1})

returns

[1 -2 1 0 0 0]

Roots to Poly

Takes as argument a vector. The vector contains each root or

pole of a rational function. Each root or pole is followed by its

order, with poles having negative order. Returns the rational

function in x that has the roots and poles (with their orders)

specified in the argument vector.

fcoeff(Vector)

where

Vector

has the form

[Root1,

Oder1, Root2, Order2, …])

Example:

fcoeff([1,2,0,1,3,-1])

returns

(x-1)^2*x*(x-3)^-
