Polynomial Operations (add/sub/mul/div/synthetic division) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The instrument specification does not define coefficient-list ordering, so identical inputs can be interpreted as different polynomials. It also does not explicitly state the required behavior for a zero divisor; such an input must be rejected as undefined.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
