To add two bignums, P(x) and Q(x) simply sum coefficients of like

Just a quick clarification, people:
In the UK, and, presumably Australia, "doing sums" refers to performing any
kind of arithmetic, not just addition.
And to Sherry Mayo:
Don't give up on the code, just yet. Try running it and watching it with a
