A curve obtained by fitting polynomials to each ordinate of an ordered sequence of points. The above plots show polynomial curves where the order of the fitting polynomial ...

The highest power in a univariate polynomial is known as its degree, or sometimes "order." For example, the polynomial P(x)=a_nx^n+...+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0 is of degree n, denoted ...

If a polynomial P(x) has a root x=a, i.e., if P(a)=0, then x-a is a factor of P(x).

Polynomial identities involving sums and differences of like powers include x^2-y^2 = (x-y)(x+y) (1) x^3-y^3 = (x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) (2) x^3+y^3 = (x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2) (3) x^4-y^4 = ...

A matrix whose entries are polynomials.

The quotient of two polynomials p(x) and q(x), discarding any polynomial remainder. Polynomial quotients are implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolynomialQuotient[p, q, ...

The remainder R(x) obtained when dividing a polynomial p(x) by another polynomial q(x). The polynomial remainder is implemented in the Wolfram Language as ...

A triangle center is said to be polynomial iff there is a triangle center function f that is a polynomial in a, b, and c (Kimberling 1998, p. 46).

Polypons are polyforms obtained from dividing a regular triangular grid into 30-30-120 triangles, illustrated above. The numbers of polypons with n=1, 2, ... components are ...

Polyrects are polyforms obtained from a rectangular grid, illustrated above. The numbers of polyrects with n=1, 2, ... components are 1, 2, 3, 9, 21, 68, 208, ... (OEIS ...
