Molecular Polynomials

Combining atomic polynomials through linear combinations we obtain molecular polynomials.

Recall

A linear combination is an expression where things are multiplied by constants and then added. Here is an example

\[ 4x^3+5x+2 \]

The constants \(4\), \(5\) and \(2\) multiply \(x^3\), \(x^1\) and \(x^0\); which are then summed. Notice how \(x^0\) is hidden, to find it, remember that \(2 =2\times 1\) and \(1=x^0\).
