A binomial is a polynomial which is the sum of two monomials. A binomial in a single indeterminate (also known as a univariate binomial) can be written in the form , where a and b are numbers, and m and n are distinct non-negative integers and x is a symbol which is called an indeterminate or, for historical reasons, a variable.
In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term.Two definitions of a monomial may be encountered: A monomial, also called a power product or primitive monomial, [1] is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions. [2]
For natural numbers (taken to include 0) n and k, the binomial coefficient () can be defined as the coefficient of the monomial X k in the expansion of (1 + X) n. The same coefficient also occurs (if k ≤ n ) in the binomial formula
Polynomials can be classified by the number of terms with nonzero coefficients, so that a one-term polynomial is called a monomial, [d] a two-term polynomial is called a binomial, and a three-term polynomial is called a trinomial. A real polynomial is a polynomial with real coefficients.

In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, the power (+) expands into a polynomial with terms of the form , where the exponents and are nonnegative integers satisfying + = and the coefficient of each term is a specific positive integer ...
When a monomial order has been chosen, the leading monomial is the largest u in S, the leading coefficient is the corresponding c u, and the leading term is the corresponding c u u. Head monomial/coefficient/term is sometimes used as a synonym of "leading". Some authors use "monomial" instead of "term" and "power product" instead of "monomial".
In mathematics, the degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer.
