Second article in Ralph Griswold's series on generating weave design sequences from multivariate polynomials, extending Ada Dietz's method. It covers polynomials with non-unit coefficients and exponents, multiplication and addition of polynomials, negative and fractional coefficients, polynomial division, modular reduction, differentiation and integration. Each operation is illustrated with design sequences and black-and-white drawdowns. Appendices show modular reductions (mod 2 to 12), successive derivatives and successive integrals of (a+b+c)^4.
