Paul, it seems to me that you forgot to upload the Algebra`Horner package
before using the Horner command.
If that is the case, then quit Mathematica (or just quit the Kernel), start
again and execute the commands in the proper order: first load the package
and then load the command:
<<Algebra`Horner`;
Horner[Fit[ {{1, 200}, {200, 0}, {400, 200}}, {1, x, x^2}, x], x]

Asunto: [mg58978] Why won't Horner[] work?
When I issue the command:
In:= Fit[ {{1,200},{200,0},{400,200}}, {1,x,x^2}, x]
Out:= 202.01 - 2.01508 x + 0.00502513 x^2
This seems good. But when I do
In:= Horner[Fit[ {{1,200},{200,0},{400,200}}, {1,x,x^2}, x]]
Out:= Horner[202.01 - 2.01508 x + 0.00502513 x^2]
Why doesn't it evaluate the polynomial? To I need to convert the
output of fit?
Thanks,
Paul
