Abstract

Mathematics teachers are finding more and more opportunities to use the microcomputer as a tool in their classes. The synthetic-division program listed in the Appendix has been used in advanced algebra, analysis, and calculus classes. This program can be used in a variety of settings. This article will deal with its use in searching for the zeros of polynomial functions. The program can also be used to evaluate polynomials, obtain quotients, and search for the upper and lower bounds of the zeros of a polynomial.
