List of polynomial topics
This is a list of polynomial topics, by Wikipedia page. See also trigonometric polynomial, list of algebraic geometry topics.
Terminology
- Degree: The maximum exponents among the monomials.
- Factor: An expression being multiplied.
- Linear factor: A factor of degree one.
- Coefficient: An expression multiplying one of the monomials of the polynomial.
- Root (or zero) of a polynomial: Given a polynomial p, the x values that satisfy p = 0 are called roots of the polynomial p.
