| | Problem: Compute the product of two polynomials efficiently. Solution: import numpy from numpy.fft import fft, ifft def poly_mul(p1, p2): """Multiply two polynomials. p1 and p2 are arrays of coefficients in degree-increasing order. """ deg1 = p1.shape[0] - 1 deg2 = p1.shape[0] - 1 # Would be 2*(deg1 + deg2) + 1, but the next-power-of-2 handles the +1 total_num_pts = 2 * (deg1 + deg2) next_power_of_2 = 1 << (total_num_pts - 1).

| In honor of Pi Day 2023, I'd like to discuss Hilbert's 7th Problem, which in an oversimplified (and rather vague) form asks: under what circumstances can a transcendental function take algebraic values at algebraic points? The connection with $latex \pi$ is that Lindemann proved in 1882 that the transcendental function $latex f(z) = e^z$ takes...
