Solving Polynomial Equations
... know that there exists a unique polynomial q of degree n − 1 such that for each 1 ≤ k ≤ n, q(ω k ) = zk . Therefore, the circulant method allows us to express the roots of p in terms of the roots of unity and the coefficients of q. • For 2 ≤ n ≤ 4, we have seen that all the coefficients of q can be ...

Root of unity
In mathematics, a root of unity, occasionally called a de Moivre number, is any complex number that gives 1 when raised to some positive integer power n. Roots of unity are used in many branches of mathematics, and are especially important in number theory, the theory of group characters, and the discrete Fourier transform.In field theory and ring theory the notion of root of unity also applies to any ring with a multiplicative identity element. Any algebraically closed field has exactly n nth roots of unity, if n is not divisible by the characteristic of the field.
