Polynomial Division Using the Area Model (Box Method)

[chocolateangel]

Even though your secondary goal was to show the efficiency of the traditional algorithm for dividing polynomials in contrast to the area model approach, you kind of did the opposite. The area model for poly. division is not only more fun, but it makes more sense, conceptually-speaking. The traditional algorithm kind of falls apart. I mean, it doesn't actually make sense when you're using indefinite numerical values (as opposed to definite ones).
