The diff is 3090 lines and won't be broadcast the mailing list. This diff includes fixes for a few inconsequential bugs and implements modified Estrin's method for sum a few ploynomials. If you want the previous Horner's method then add -DHORNER to your CFLAGS. -- Steve 20170425 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWUpyCsUKR4 20161221 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbCHE-hONow
