Definition:

Polynomial


Definition:

  • (n.) An expression composed of two or more terms, connected by the signs plus or minus; as, a2 - 2ab + b2.
  • (a.) Containing many names or terms; multinominal; as, the polynomial theorem.
  • (a.) Consisting of two or more words; having names consisting of two or more words; as, a polynomial name; polynomial nomenclature.

Example Sentences:
