at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation in example & formal definition what does |M| stand for? is it as mod which changes the notation? please don't ignore my question by thinking it's related to CS, it's purely mathematical.
My second question is that what is polynomial and binomial?

polynomial is an expression that contains more than 4 terms. ..

x^2 + 9 + y^9 +8x+9y^3

mathslover · Answer

binomial only contains 2 terms

mathslover · Answer

example of binomial : x+2

mathslover · Answer

|M| = mod of M it changes the sign of M ... if M is -ve than it will be +ve and if it is +ve then it will remain same

anonymous · Answer

but on wikipedia it says that "For example, x2 − x/4 + 7 is a polynomial"

mathslover · Answer

yes it is ..... sorry i said it contains more than 4 terms ... it should be more than 2 terms..

x^2-x/4 + 7 is also a polynomial
