A polynomial ring is a fundamental algebraic structure in abstract algebra. It consists of polynomials in one or more indeterminates with coefficients taken from a given ring, R. The set of polynomials forms a ring under the usual operations of polynomial addition and multiplication.
The simplest examples are polynomial rings in a single indeterminate, denoted as R[x]. For instance, the ring
When considering polynomials in multiple indeterminates, such as x and y, the notation extends to R[x, y].
Polynomial rings possess many rich properties. For example, if R is an integral domain, then R[x] is
These structures are crucial in various fields of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, and coding
