Jean-François Burnol submitted the
polexpr
package.
Version number: 0.1
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Provides a parser for polynomial expressions
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This LaTeX package provides poldef: a parser of polynomial expressions
based upon the xintdeffunc mechanism of package xintexpr.
The syntax is
poldef <name>(x):=<expression in variable x>;
where in place of x an arbitrary letter is authorized. The expression
uses the operations of algebra (including composition of functions) with
standard operators, fractional numbers (possibly in scientific notation)
and previously defined polynomial functions or other constructs as
recognized by the xintexpr numerical parser.
The so-defined name() xintexpr-function is also known to the package
via its polynomial coefficients, thus allowing dedicated macros to
implement polynomial algorithmics.
