monic, a. Math.|ˈmɒnɪk| [f. mono- + -ic.] Of a polynomial: having the coefficient of the term of highest degree equal to one.
1937A. A. Albert Mod. Higher Algebra ii. 24 The coefficient an is called the leading coefficient of f and we shall call f a monic polynomial when an = 1. [Note] This notion occurs so frequently in algebra that the author believes it would be wise to adopt the above term. 1963Beaumont & Pierce Algebraic Found. Math. ix. 328 Thus, for any nonzero polynomial g(x), there is a unique monic polynomial f(x) which is a multiple of g(x) by a nonzero element of F. |
