Polynomial( <Function> ): Yields the expanded polynomial function.; Example: Polynomial((x - 3)^2) yields x² - 6x + 9.

Polynomial( <List of Points> ): Creates the interpolation polynomial of degree n-1 through the given n points.; Example: Polynomial({(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 6)}) yields 0.5 x² + 0.5 x.

Polynomial( <Function> ): Expands the function and writes it as a polynomial in x (grouping the coefficients).; Example: Polynomial((x - 3)^2 + (a + x)^2) yields 2 x² + (2a - 6) x + a² + 9.

Polynomial( <Function>, <Variable> ): Expands the function and writes it as a polynomial in the variable (grouping the coefficients).; Example: Polynomial((x - 3)^2 + (a + x)^2, a) yields a² + 2 x a + 2 x² - 6 x + 9.
