Examples
Some polynomial sequences arise in physics and approximation theory as the solutions of certain ordinary differential equations:
- Laguerre polynomials
- Chebyshev polynomials
- Legendre polynomials
- Jacobi polynomials
Others come from statistics:
- Hermite polynomials
Many are studied in algebra and combinatorics:
- Monomials
- Rising factorials
- Falling factorials
- Abel polynomials
- Bell polynomials
- Bernoulli polynomials
- Dickson polynomials
- Fibonacci polynomials
- Lagrange polynomials
- Lucas polynomials
- Spread polynomials
- Touchard polynomials
- Rook polynomials

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
