description: This book offers fascinating and modern perspectives into the theory and practice of the historical subject of polynomial root-finding rejuvenating the field via polynomiography a creative and novel computer visualization that renders spectacular images of a polynomial equation. Polynomiography will not only pave the way for new applications of polynomials in science and mathematics but also in art and education. The book presents a thorough development of the basic family arguably the most fundamental family of iteration functions deriving many surprising and novel theoretical and practical applications such algorithms for approximation of roots of polynomials and analytic functions polynomiography bounds on zeros of polynomials formulas for the approximation of Pi and characterizations or visualizations associated with a homogeneous linear recurrence relation. These discoveries and a set of beautiful images that provide new visions even of the well-known polynomials and recurrences are the makeup of a very desirable book. This book is a must for mathematicians scientists advanced undergraduates and graduates but is also for anyone with an appreciation for the connections between a fantastically creative art form and its ancient mathematical foundations.
