Numpy poly1d function in python module numpy tutorial part 28

# numpy `poly1d` function: a comprehensive guide

## introduction

in this tutorial, we will explore the `poly1d` function from the numpy library in python. the `poly1d` function is used to create a one-dimensional polynomial class, which allows for convenient polynomial manipulation and evaluation.

### key features of `poly1d`

- **polynomial representation**: you can represent polynomials in a straightforward way using coefficients.
- **evaluation**: easily evaluate the polynomial at given points.
- **arithmetic operations**: perform polynomial addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- **roots and derivatives**: find the roots of the polynomial and compute its derivative.

## installing numpy

make sure you have numpy installed. if you haven't installed it yet, you can use pip:

## using `poly1d`

### creating a polynomial

to create a polynomial using `poly1d`, you need to provide the coefficients of the polynomial in descending order of powers.

### output

### evaluating a polynomial

you can evaluate the polynomial at specific points using the call operator.

### output

### polynomial arithmetic

you can perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. for example, let's add and multiply two polynomials.

### output

### finding roots

you can find the roots of the polynomial using the `roots` attribute.

### output

### derivatives

to calculate the derivative of the polynomial, you can use the `deriv` method.

### output

## conclusion

in this tutorial, we have covered the basics of the `poly1d` function in numpy, including how to create polynomials, evaluate them, perform arithmetic operations, find roots, and compute derivatives. the `poly1d` function is a powerful tool for anyone working with polynomials in python.

feel free to experiment with different polynomials and operations to get more familiar with how `poly1d` works!
