Mathematics for Data Science 1 - W4_L6: Polynomial division algorithm with long division explained

Welcome to Week 4 Lecture 6 of the course "Mathematics for Data Science I" by Profs. Neelesh Upadhye, Madhavan Mukund. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSMA1001.html Video Overview This lecture introduces the polynomial division algorithm in detail. We review the key terms—dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder—and explain how they come together in polynomial division. Using the long division method, we walk through a worked example to illustrate the process step by step. This session is perfect for learners looking to build confidence in applying one of the most fundamental tools in algebra.
