<h3 class="section">27.4 Derivatives and Integrals</h3>
<p>Octave comes with functions for computing the derivative and the integral
of a polynomial. The functions <code>polyderiv</code> and <code>polyint</code>
both return new polynomials describing the result. As an example we'll
compute the definite integral of p(x) = x^2 + 1 from 0 to 3.
<pre class="example"> c = [1, 0, 1];
integral = polyint(c);
area = polyval(integral, 3) - polyval(integral, 0)
⇒ 12
