Polynomials: Introduction

The video tutorial introduces polynomials, explaining their components such as variables, coefficients, and exponents. It discusses the concept of the degree of a polynomial and how it helps classify polynomials into types like linear, quadratic, and cubic. The tutorial also highlights features that disqualify expressions as polynomials, such as negative powers and division by variables.
