Learning the basics of classifying polynomials based on degree and number of terms

The video tutorial covers the classification of polynomials, emphasizing the importance of writing them in standard form. It explains how to identify the degree and leading coefficient, and classifies polynomials by their degree and number of terms. The example used is a cubic polynomial with four terms, highlighting the process of converting to standard form and identifying its characteristics.
