Harmonic analysts and Incidence Geometers are well-aware of Dvir’s dramatic solution of the Finite Field Kakeya Problem using the polynomial method and this has had a profound affect on the develop of these two areas. But the polynomial method has been around for a long time and has proved to be a powerful tool. We look at two early examples.
