The evaluation of Gauss's u's for polynomials of high degree using synthetic 

 division is quite tedious. The calculation may be simplified by linear inter- 

 polation between the closely spaced ordinates obtained from the table in Ap- 

 pendix 1 . The maximum error introduced by this simplification is only approx- 

 imately ±0.2 percent.

Thfe authors are grateful to I. Goldman, J.L. Beveridge, E.J. Adams, 

 and J.D. Zonars for their assistance in carrying through the tedious and some- 

 times difficult calculations which were necessary for this report. The tables 

 in Appendix 2 were computed with the aid of the IBM equipment at the Taylor 

 Model Basin.
