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 ...

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 ...

A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed to be able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation ...
