Comment #92 on issue 1598 by fredrik.johansson: New polynomials manipulation module
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1598

Great progress! Keep up the good work.

For complex root isolation, perhaps you can use mpmath to compute approximate roots r_k, then go back to exact arithmetic, translate the polynomial onto each r_k and bound the distance to the zero nearest to the origin of the translated polynomial. If
the approximate roots have high accuracy then this should yield sharp bounds
immediately. That is, the polynomial translated onto an approximate root will usually
be something like

eps + Ax + Bx^2 + ...

and with eps small, A large in comparison to eps (usually of unit magnitude), |Bx^2 + ...| small, it should be possible to bound the error of the root (but I don't know
the exact formula for this).

Obviously some care is required to do this robustly. Perhaps calling mpmath with repeatedly doubling precision, combined with a fully rigorous implementation of the
verification step, will do the job.
