# Polynomial Module (`numpy.polynomial.polynomial`)

New in version 1.4.0.

This module provides a number of objects (mostly functions) useful for dealing with Polynomial series, including a `Polynomial` class that encapsulates the usual arithmetic operations. (General information on how this module represents and works with such polynomials is in the docstring for its “parent” sub-package, `numpy.polynomial`).

## Polynomial Class

`Polynomial`(coef[, domain, window]) | A power series class.

## Basics

`polyval`(x, c[, tensor]) | Evaluate a polynomial at points x.
`polyval2d`(x, y, c) | Evaluate a 2-D polynomial at points (x, y).
`polyval3d`(x, y, z, c) | Evaluate a 3-D polynomial at points (x, y, z).
`polygrid2d`(x, y, c) | Evaluate a 2-D polynomial on the Cartesian product of x and y.
`polygrid3d`(x, y, z, c) | Evaluate a 3-D polynomial on the Cartesian product of x, y and z.
`polyroots`(c) | Compute the roots of a polynomial.
`polyfromroots`(roots) | Generate a monic polynomial with given roots.

## Fitting

`polyfit`(x, y, deg[, rcond, full, w]) | Least-squares fit of a polynomial to data.
`polyvander`(x, deg) | Vandermonde matrix of given degree.
`polyvander2d`(x, y, deg) | Pseudo-Vandermonde matrix of given degrees.
`polyvander3d`(x, y, z, deg) | Pseudo-Vandermonde matrix of given degrees.

## Calculus

`polyder`(c[, m, scl, axis]) | Differentiate a polynomial.
`polyint`(c[, m, k, lbnd, scl, axis]) | Integrate a polynomial.

## Algebra

`polyadd`(c1, c2) | Add one polynomial to another.
`polysub`(c1, c2) | Subtract one polynomial from another.
`polymul`(c1, c2) | Multiply one polynomial by another.
`polymulx`(c) | Multiply a polynomial by x.
`polydiv`(c1, c2) | Divide one polynomial by another.
`polypow`(c, pow[, maxpower]) | Raise a polynomial to a power.

## Miscellaneous

`polycompanion`(c) | Return the companion matrix of c.
`polydomain` |
`polyzero` |
`polyone` |
`polyx` |
`polytrim`(c[, tol]) | Remove “small” “trailing” coefficients from a polynomial.
`polyline`(off, scl) | Returns an array representing a linear polynomial.
