Bairstow's Method - due Monday, February 14

Write a program to do Bairstow's method. The program should take as input and integer n and a vector a of dimension n+1 representing a polynomial of degree n. It should also take as input a tolerance tol, a maximum number of iterations it and an initial guess u,v for a quadratic factor x2-ux-v. The program should return c,d where x2-cx-d is your final estimate for a quadratic factor. The program should terminate when either $\Vert(u_i-u_{i-1},v_i-v_{i-1})\Vert < tol$ or $i\ge it$. Find real quadratic factors of x4+x2+1 and x3+x2-2.
