  1. In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression of finite length constructed from variables (also called indeterminates) and constants, using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents. However the division by a constant is allowed, because the multiplicative inverse of a non zero constant is also a constant.
