Constructor Detail

ComplexPolynomial

public ComplexPolynomial(Complex... coefficients)

Creates a polynomial from a list of coefficients in order of increasing degree. Note that the ellipsis (...) indicates that the parameters are a list of complex numbers. For instance, this can be called with "new ComplexPolynomial(a0,a1,a2)" to construct the polynomial "a0+a1*z+a2*z^2."

Method Detail

map

public Complex map(Complex z)

Evaluate the polynomial at z.

Specified by:

map in interface PlanarMap

toString

public String toString()

Return a string describing the polynomial as a map of the Complex plane.

Overrides:
