For Problem Set #2, Problem #2 (Derivatives)- In the polynomial example, it shows a result as tuple
(0.0, 35.0, 9.0, 4.0). Since the poly entered is
(-13.39, 0.0, 17.5, 3.0, 1.0), shouldn't my result be
(0.0, 0.0, 35.0, 9.0, 4.0)?

Actually, now that I typed out my thoughts, it makes more sense. I should just not have it display that first 0.0, because with derivatives, the left block would always end up being 0.0.

Now on to problem #3, Implementing Newton's Method. Half the battle is relearning forgotten math concepts.
