Polynomial Averaging: Root Pairing

This lecture explores the concept of averaging polynomials and when it can be beneficial. The instructor discusses the idea of pairing up roots in monic polynomials and the implications of this property. Various examples are provided to illustrate the concept, including the interlacing of roots and the conditions under which different polynomials can have the same root. The lecture also covers the process of plotting paths of roots from one polynomial to another, emphasizing the importance of understanding the behavior of roots in polynomial equations.
