When you say "weird definition", do you mean it's a strange concept, or a strange name for that concept?
Edit: Or do you mean that "polynomial progression" has an existing definition, and this definition is equivalent, but is a strange way of stating it? Or do you mean the definition as stated in the article is wrong / differs from the standard definition?
- Chris2048 7y agoPossibly that it doesn't seem to warrant an entirely new name? that "shifted geometric progression" or something might as well do.
- pure-awesome 7y agoSee my other response to rini17 for more info. But yeah, seems to me these "shifted geometric progressions" are actually just a special case of a more general concept of a "polynomial progression".
- rini17 7y agoI'd expect polynomial to follow definition of polynome: x^n + c where n, c are fixed and x goes 0,1,2,... with the progression instead of n^x + c ..the latter I'd call exponential progression
