Teaching Learning Process

Introduction :-
• Greek Mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria is the father of polynomials. The Italian mathematician Niccolo
Tartaglia was demonstrating a general algebraic formula for solving cubic equations.
• The word “Polynomial” is originated from 2 word – “Poly” and “Nomial”. Poly means “many”, nominal refer to
“terms”. The meaning of polynomial is associated expression that has several terms. It is defined as a single term
or a sum of the finite number of the terms.
• You have probably used a polynomial in your head more than once when you are in shopping.
• Polynomials are used in engineering, computer and math based jobs, in management, business and even in farming. Diophantus Niccolo Tartaglia
Experience and Reflection :-

• People use polynomials in their everyday life . People use polynomials for modeling of various buildings and objects , used in industries , used in
construction . They are even used in marketing , finance , stocks .
• Polynomials are even used in various fields of science , such as physics , where we measure acceleration , or to express units of energy , inertia .
• In chemistry , polynomials are used in writing down the chemical equations etc.
