The ubiquity of polynomials and their ability to characterize complex patterns let us better understand generalizations, theorems, and elegant paths to solutions that they provide. We strive to showcase the true beauty of polynomials through a well-thought collection of problems from mathematics competitions and intuitive lectures that follow the sub-topics. Thus, we present a view of polynomials that incorporates various techniques paired with the favorite themes that show up in math contests.
