## Contents

This crate provides four macros (`horner!`, `horner_fma!`, `estrin!`, and `estrin_fma!`) to evaluate

a polynomial using either [Horner's method][Horner] or [Estrin's scheme][Estrin].

The `_fma` variants use "fused multiply-add" instructions where applicable.

It provide also two functions (`horner` and `horner_array`) that work with slices and arrays respectively.

The crate can be `no-std`; the features `std` (enabled by default) and `libm` are passed through to `num-traits`.

## Other crates

On  there are several crates related to polynomial evaluation:

- [`horner`](https://crates.io/crates/horner): provides two functions to evaluate polynomials of known and unknown order;

- [`horner-eval`](https://crates.io/crates/horner-eval): provides a macro to evaluate polynomials with known coefficients and a function to evaluate polynomials of unknown order;

- [`fast_polynomial`](https://crates.io/crates/fast_polynomial): provides two functions to evaluate polynomials of known and unknown order, implementing a hybrid Estrin's/Horner's method exploiting instruction-level parallelism;

- [`polynomen`](https://crates.io/crates/polynomen): general arithmetic with polynomials (possibly incomplete?);

- [`horny`](https://crates.io/crates/horny) and [`horny_macro`](https://crates.io/crates/horny) are "Reserved for future use (seriously)", but are completely empty and haven't received an update in 3+ years.
