84: 74: 53: 22: 1561:). The joys of vacuously true statements on the empty set! I think the only way to resolve this conflict is to set the degree of the polynomial zero to be either "undefined" or explicitly defined as some negative number (since the empty set is contained in every one of these degree "sets", it must be strictly smaller than all of them). - 484:. Our polynomials should not "shrink" when we multiply them. If f(x)=0, then f(x)*g(x)=0, no matter what degree g(x) has. This will break many of our theorems. Therefore, we do not define the degree at 0. (This is a special case of the "norm" function for a euclidean domain which requires that deg(f*g)β‰₯deg(f) and deg(f*g)β‰₯deg(g).) 729:
norm that satisfies the appropriate axioms. Finding such a norm is often very difficult, and there are often (perhaps always??) numerous norms whenever there is one (for example, if deg(f) is defined as we would expect and then we create a new function D, defined as D(f) = 42*deg(f), this is a valid

The progress of the theory of stability of various types of functional equations such as quadratic, cubic, quartic, quintic, sextic, septic, octic, nonic, decic, undecic, duodecic, tredecic, quattordecic have been dealt by many mathematicians and there are lot of interesting and significant results
1838:
I think 'hectic' is supposed to be math humor. We'll use 'bajillionic' if we really want, until the 100th degree polynomial actually appears in regular contexts, and then we'll name it appropriately. Sure, not everything gets a name (see 'once', 'twice', 'thrice', 4-ce? quince? ...), but those that

The example given in parentheses contradicts the statement made. If you're in an integral domain in the example, you can take the highest order term in each factor, and add them up. In terms of total number of operations, this is much "easier" than multiplying it all out first. For more general
168:
Generally a polynomial is defined as a sequence of elements (called coefficients) from a ring indexed by natural numbers with the following characteristic: there is a natural number n (called the degree) so that the n-th coefficient is non-zero and all coefficients with index higher than are zero.
2217:
The wording to which you refer (which I inserted) is not clear and needs to be changed. What is being referred to is the behaviour of the degree of polynomials from the previous section: that the sum or difference of two polynomials has a degree that is less than or equal to the largest of the

rings, you have to look for zero divisors and so on, but it's not obvious whether or not there is a more efficient method for doing this than doing the entire expansion. In any case, unless there is a definite computational idea in mind, "it is easier" sounds more like an opinion than a fact.

1821:
For that matter, why there is a name for them at all? Even in the rare circumstance of one actually appearing, it would probably just get named "100th degree polynomial". They don't deserve a name any more than (say) 73rd degree ones do (and much less than 11th)...
1242:
Another thing that may confuse you is that I define the polynomial as a function, instead of as a sequence, but that is equivalent. I find this way of doing things more elegant because you don't have bounds on the size of the sequence appearing anywhere.
179:
The thing is that the definition of the degree is embedded in the definition of the polynomial. What would be the best way to include here the formal/mathematically correct definition of the degree - should we repeat the polynomial definition here? -
1252:
Aha.. I thought the function P was evaluating the polynomial in the ring, and I didn't understand what N was (now I see it). OK, now that I understand the setup, notice that even in your definition, for the zero polynomial, "the highest n such that
711:: I have noted your new section on abstract algebra. This is a good idea but as said above it should be based on formal definitions and united with the other articles. In particular, the last sentence is misleading. deg(0) is not undefined 1459: 453:
The degree of f(x)=c is zero, but only if c is not 0. The degree of 0 is undefined (but many say that the degree is minus infinity so that it "sorts" below the constants). Here are a couple justifications for this statement:
986: 1551: 1907:"To determine the degree of a polynomial that is not in standard form (for example (y βˆ’ 3)(2y + 6)( βˆ’ 4y βˆ’ 21)) it is easier to expand or express the polynomial into a sum or difference of terms;" 730:
norm). So, I say that degree is not defined at 0 because degree is a norm and norms are not defined at 0. But, it is something of a circular argument, so there probably is a better way to state it.
1156: 620: 189:
Two conflicting definitions seem to be given. The first paragraph says the degree is the sum of the powers of all terms, the second says it is the sum of powers in one term. That is confusing.
