Aargh!  Hurm.  Net.test is for the posting of TESTS, not ANSWERS or SCORES!
I've now recovered from grading the Numerical Analysis midterm I gave, and
I don't want to see any more grades.  I've had my fill.  Gak.  Ptui.

Now let's get some great tests going here, like the glory days of net.test.

Example: From my midterm (simplify at your own risk):

#3: Find the polynomial p of least degree such that p(-1)=-8, p'(-1)=28,
    p''(-1)=-112, p(0)=-1, p(1)=0, p'(1)=4, p''(1)=24, p(2)=85.
