| rational root theoremnoun | (algebra) A theorem which states a constraint on rational solutions of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients. |
| polynomial functionnoun | (mathematics) Any function whose value is the solution of a polynomial; an element of a subring of the ring of all functions over an integral domain, which subring is the smallest to contain all the constant functions and also the identity function. (If the polynomial is multivariate then there is a different identity function corresponding to each variable.) |
| algebraic functionnoun | (algebraic geometry) Informally, any function expressible using (only) the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and raising to a rational power; more precisely, any continuous function definable as the root of some polynomial equation. |
| rational | Capable of reasoning. |
| regular functionnoun | (mathematics) a meromorphic function |
| rational numbernoun | (mathematics) A number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. |
| arithmetic functionnoun | (mathematical analysis) Any function that is defined for all positive integers, and has values that are either real or complex. |
| recursive functionnoun | (computing) Any function that uses recursion and can call itself until a certain condition is met. |
| primitive polynomialnoun | (algebra, field theory) A polynomial over a given finite field whose roots are primitive elements; especially, the minimal polynomial of a primitive element of said finite field. |

| real functionnoun | (mathematics) A function whose range is a subset of the set of real numbers. |
| algebraic numbernoun | (algebra, number theory) A complex number (more generally, an element of a number field) that is a root of a polynomial whose coefficients are integers; equivalently, a complex number (or element of a number field) that is a root of a monic polynomial whose coefficients are rational numbers. |
| rational numbersnoun | (mathematics) The set of numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of integers, often denoted with the bold letter Q, or the blackboard bold letter ℚ. |
| transcendental functionnoun | (mathematical analysis) Any function that is algebraically independent of its variable(s); a function which does not satisfy a polynomial equation whose coefficients are themselves polynomials. |
| functional rootnoun | (mathematics) A function which, when applied a given number of times, equals another given function. |
| compositenoun | A mixture of different components. |
| complex functionnoun | (mathematics) A function whose range is a subset of the set of complex numbers. |
