polynomial ring
a ring formed from the set of polynomials in one or more indeterminates with coefficients in another ring (often a field)
"polynomial ring" often refers implicitly to
the special case of a polynomial ring in 1 indeterminate over a field.
The importance of such polynomial rings relies on the high number of properties that they have in common with the ring of the integers.
