Polynomial Ring: Also defined as

It is common for an author to define the polynomial ring using a specific construction, and refer to other constructions as a polynomial ring.

At $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ we deliberately do not favor any construction.

All the more so because at some point it becomes irrelevant.


It is also common to call any ring which is isomorphic to a polynomial ring a polynomial ring.

For the precise meaning of this, see Ring Isomorphic to Polynomial Ring is Polynomial Ring.
