A polynomial is either zero or can be written as the sum of a finite number of non-zero terms. Each term consists of the product of a constant (called the coefficient of the term) and a finite number of variables (usually represented by letters), also called indeterminates, raised to whole number powers. The exponent on a variable in a term is called the degree of that variable in that term; the degree of the term is the sum of the degrees of the variables in that term, and the degree of a polynomial is the largest degree of any one term. Since 
, the degree of a variable without a written exponent is one. A term with no variables is called a constant term, or just a constant; the degree of a (nonzero) constant term is 0. The coefficient of a term may be any number from a specified set.
A polynomial function is a function that can be defined by evaluating a polynomial.
