Polynomials can be seen almost everywhere in engineering. They are curves that represent properties or behavior of many engineering objects or devices. For example

• Polynomials are used to approximate or curve fit experimental data
• Polynomials are used as solution to differential equations
• Polynomials are used to calculate beam deflection under loading
• Polynomials are used to represent some properties of gases
• Polynomials represent characteristics of linear dynamic system
• Ratio of two polynomials represent a transfer function of a linear dynamic system
• Polynomials help define basis functions used in Finite Element computation
• Polynomials are used to define CAD geometry in engineering
• Polynomials are used in the construction of parameteric curves
