4622:; see section "Degree of a polynomial", pp. 225–226: "The product of the zero polynomial any other polynomial is always the zero polynomial, so such a property of degrees (the degree of the product is the sum of the degrees of the two factors) would not hold if one of the two polynomials were the polynomial 0. That is why we do not assign a degree to the zero polynomial." 2526:. It has no nonzero terms, and so, strictly speaking, it has no degree either. As such, its degree is usually undefined. The propositions for the degree of sums and products of polynomials in the above section do not apply, if any of the polynomials involved is the zero polynomial. 367:
is of degree 1, even though each summand has degree 2. However, this is not needed when the polynomial is written as a product of polynomials in standard form, because the degree of a product is the sum of the degrees of the factors.

Note that for polynomials over an arbitrary ring, the degree of the composition may be less than the product of the degrees. For example, in

The degree of the sum, the product or the composition of two polynomials is strongly related to the degree of the input polynomials.
