Of, relating to, or consisting of more than two names or terms.

(algebra) An expression that is not a polynomial.

A taxonomic designation consisting of more than two terms.

An algebraic expression consisting of one or more summed terms, each term consisting of a constant multiplier and one or more variables raised to nonnegative integral powers. For example, x2 - 5x + 6 and 2p3q + y are polynomials. Also called multinomial.

An expression of two or more terms.

An expression consisting of a sum of a finite number of terms, each term being the product of a constant coefficient and one or more variables raised to a non-negative integer power, such as $a\_n\; x^n\; +\; a\_\{n-1\}x^\{n-1\}\; +\; ...\; +\; a\_0\; x^0$. Category:en:Polynomials

(taxonomy) A taxonomic designation (such as of a subspecies) consisting of more than two terms.

(algebra) Able to be described or limited by a polynomial.

(taxonomy) of a polynomial name or entity

An expression composed of two or more terms, connected by the signs plus or minus; as, a2 - 2ab + b2.

Containing many names or terms; multinominal; as, the polynomial theorem.

Consisting of two or more words; having names consisting of two or more words; as, a polynomial name; polynomial nomenclature.

A mathematical expression that is the sum of a number of terms
