Math.Net Polynomial Class Proposal

I am currently working on a few features for MathNet.Numerics.

For these features I require a Polynomial class implementations for numeric values (basically just an array of double values stored within a class with a bunch of methods and operators for Polynomial operations).

I browsed through MathNet.Numerics and could not find anything mathcing what I look for. From
this post I can see that this is a still requested feature.

I have a pretty well imlemented class in my own code that I would like to migrate to MathNet Numerics for that. Where would you propose to put that? I would propose MathNet.Numerics.Polynomial as a location. What do you think?

Features the class would have:

• Only real values (double[]) are supported (as a first implementation)
• Polynomial operations + - * /
• Method: Complex[] Roots()
• Method: Polynomial Differentiate()
• Method: Polynomial Integrate()
• Static Method: Polynomial FitFromData(double x)

usage example:

var x = new double[] {5, 4, 3, 0, 2};
var p = new Polynomial(x);
p.ToString() // "2 x^3 + 0 x^2 + 3 x^2 + 4 x^1 + 5"

var x = new double[] {5, 4, 3, 0, 2};
var p2 = new Polynomial(x, isFlip:true);
p2.ToString() // 5 x^3 + 4 x^2 + 3 x^2 + 0 x^1 + 2
