Rational Polynomial


A rational polynomial is a polynomial having rational coefficients.

While the term "rational polynomial" is sometimes used as a synonym for rational function, this usage is strongly discouraged since by analogy with complex polynomial and integer polynomial, "rational polynomial" should properly refer to a polynomial with rational coefficients.
