Summary
n(lg2 n−2) multiplications and divisions are necessary to compute the set of elementary symmetric functions inn indeterminates. This lower bound and similar ones for the computational complexity of various evaluation and interpolation problems are obtained by introducing ideas and results from algebraic geometry.
