monomial

One algebraic term

A monomial is an algebraic expression consisting of a single term—a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables: 3x², 7, xy.

The term contrasts with polynomial, which has multiple terms.

In mathematics, monomials are the building blocks from which more complex expressions are constructed.
