The title is not very accurate. The article mostly talks about roots of polynomials in the field of complex numbers and shows some beautiful fractal images derived from the roots.
- stephencanon 10y agoPlotting the roots is about as reasonable of a way to talk about what a polynomial "looks like" as any.
- ranit 10y agoYou are right and the problem is that the HN rule to keep the original title was not followed. The title is "The Beauty of Roots".
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThis is why I favour original titles with editorialised sub-titles. You could even allow the user to choose which to show if you feared that having a sub-title would make for too much clutter.
- sctb 10y agoThat's right, we just changed the submission title to the original from “What do polynomials really look like?”.
