- Hello all!
- I need an algoritham or a method (or computer algoritham)
- to convert a product of the type:
- n
- ------
- | | (X-Xi)
- | |
- i=1
-
- to A sigma in the from
-
-
- n
- -----
- \ CiX^i
- /
- -----
- i=0
-
-
- what i look for is of course the constants Ci.
- I find out by trying that each that Ci is the Sigma of all
- combinations of products of (n-i) Xj
- and that the sign of Cn is always positive (and equal 1)
- and the sign of C(n-1) is begative and so on.
-
- Its quite hard coding all of this into a program and i guess someone
- has/know of a better way to do it
-
- any suiggestions/ideas/corrections
- Please email me directly
- to eidlheit@bimacs.biu.ac.il
-
- Thanks in advance
