DESCRIPTION: \;Dr. Richard Moy\, an Assistant Professor of Mathematic s at Willamette University will give this talk. Most students learn how to factor polynomials in high school using techniques such as the quadrat ic formula. However\, factoring polynomials becomes more complicated when they have large degree. And what if a polynomial doesn't factor\, i.e. i t is irreducible? How does one go about showing that a particular polynom ial is irreducible? In this talk\, we will address these questions and m ore! (Audience participation will be required. Knowledge of modular arith metic is recommended though not required.) X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
