The breaking up of self-intersecting polygons into simple polygons (illustrated above) is also called tessellation (Woo et al. 1999).

A polygrammic prism is a prism formed by two regular polygrams offset along their symmetry axis and with corresponding edges connected by lateral faces. The hexagrammic prism ...

A line segment where two faces of a polyhedron meet, also called a side.

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.

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).

A polynomial function is a function whose values can be expressed in terms of a defining polynomial. A polynomial function of maximum degree 0 is said to be a constant ...

The l^infty-polynomial norm defined for a polynomial P=a_kx^k+...+a_1x+a_0 by ||P||_infty=max_(k)|a_k|. Note that some authors (especially in the area of Diophantine ...

A matrix whose entries are polynomials.

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).
