The polynomial is an expression that can be built from constants and symbols called variables by means of addition, multiplication, exponentiation to a non-negative integer power.

A polynomial in a single indeterminate can always be written in the form:

Where are constants (coefficients) and is the indeterminate.
This can be expressed using summation as well:

Polynomial function

The mapping that associates the result of the seen substitution to the substituted values is a function, called polynomial function.
