- /* polevl.c
- * p1evl.c
- *
- * Evaluate polynomial
- *
- *
- *
- * SYNOPSIS:
- *
- * int N;
- * double x, y, coef[N+1], polevl[];
- *
- * y = polevl( x, coef, N );
- *
- *
- *
- * DESCRIPTION:
- *
- * Evaluates polynomial of degree N:
- *
- * 2 N
- * y = C + C x + C x +...+ C x
- * 0 1 2 N
- *
- * Coefficients are stored in reverse order:
- *
- * coef[0] = C , ..., coef[N] = C .
- * N 0
- *
- * The function p1evl() assumes that coef[N] = 1.0 and is
- * omitted from the array. Its calling arguments are
- * otherwise the same as polevl().
- *
- *
- * SPEED:
- *
- * In the interest of speed, there are no checks for out
- * of bounds arithmetic. This routine is used by most of
- * the functions in the library. Depending on available
- * equipment features, the user may wish to rewrite the
- * program in microcode or assembly language.
