The set of all polynomial sequences of binomial type is a group in which the group operation is "umbral composition" of polynomial sequences.
of coefficients of the first-degree terms in a polynomial sequence of binomial type may be termed the cumulants of the polynomial sequence.

 Sequence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) arranged in a "linear" fashion, such that the order of the members is well defined and significant.
A subsequence of a given sequence is a sequence formed from the given sequence by deleting some of the elements without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining elements.
If the terms of the sequence are a subset of a ordered set, then a monotonically increasing sequence is one for which each term is greater than or equal to the term before it; if each term is strictly greater than the one preceding it, the sequence is called strictly monotonically increasing.

Polynomials are important because they are the simplest functions: their definition involves only addition and multiplication (since the powers are just shorthands for repeated multiplications).
The culmination of these efforts is Taylor's theorem, which roughly states that every differentiable function locally looks like a polynomial, and the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function defined on a compact interval of the real axis can be approximated on the whole interval as closely as desired by a polynomial.
Polynomials with coefficients in R can be added by simply adding corresponding coefficients and multiplied using the distributive law and the rules

In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) which have been arranged in a linear fashion; such that each member comes either before, or after, every other member, and the order of members is important.
Sequences can be finite, as in the example just given, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers (2,4,6,...).
The elements in a sequence are also called terms, and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence.

 Interleaving Fibonacci Numbers
For example, given the even-ordered sequence 0, 1, 3, 8, 21, 55, 144, … we could simply apply the “greedy algorithm” by expressing each term as the sum of the maximum number of the immediately preceding terms.
This shows that another way of arriving at the recurrence for the kth Fibonacci numbers is to solve for the (k-2)th degree polynomial that gives, when multiplied by the characteristic polynomial of the Fibonacci sequence, a polynomial whose only non-zero coefficients are for powers that are multiples of k.
This implies that f is a root of the characteristic polynomial, as expected.

 Using Local Optimality Criteria for Efficient Information Retrieval   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Hence sequence 1-2-3 is preferable to sequence 2-3; that is, redundant filter 1 should not be deleted from the sequence 1-2-3.
And with a sequence of filters, the setup cost need only be incurred for the sequence once because each processor applies the data to each filter in turn, so its cost can be amortized; and the final union of results is just a disjoint union, easy to accomplish.
If both sequences had the same filters just after the entailed filters, then all the other filters would have to precede those entailed filters in interchange-sorted order, and the two sequences would have to be identical.

You can find the degree of this polynomial sequence by making so-called "sequences of differences." You make a sequence of differences by subtracting the consecutive numbers of the original sequence.
To see that this holds for the general case, suppose we have a sequence defined by P(n) = a*n^t + Q(n), where Q(n) is of lower degree than P(n).
But for the sequence of differences (SoD(n)) of P(n) this means: SoD(n) = P(n+1) - P(n) = = a*n^t + R(n) + Q(n+1) - (a*n^t + Q(n)) = R(n) + Q(n+1) - Q(n).
