This theorem states that for any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R` and any function `f` from pairs of natural numbers and elements of `R` to an additive commutative monoid `S` that maps any pair `(n, 0)` to `0`, there exists a natural number `n` larger than the natural degree of `p` such that the sum of `f` applied to the coefficients of `p` is equal to the sum of `f` applied to the coefficients of `p` for each natural number less than `n`. This allows us to recast the sum over `p.support` (the nonzero coefficients of the polynomial) as a sum over the range of natural numbers less than `n`.

More concisely: For any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R` and additive commutative monoid homomorphism `f` mapping `(n, 0)` to `0`, there exists a natural number `n` greater than the degree of `p` such that the sum of `f` applied to `p`'s coefficients equals the sum over coefficients with index less than `n`.

Polynomial.Monic.coeff_natDegree

theorem Polynomial.Monic.coeff_natDegree : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, p.Monic → p.coeff p.natDegree = 1

The theorem `Polynomial.Monic.coeff_natDegree` states that for all types `R` that have a semiring structure and for all polynomials `p` over `R`, if `p` is a monic polynomial (i.e., its leading coefficient is 1), then the coefficient of `p` at the degree of `p` forced to a natural number (`natDegree p`) is also 1. In other words, it asserts that the coefficient of the highest non-zero degree term (in natural numbers) of a monic polynomial is 1.

More concisely: For every monic polynomial $p$ over a semiring $R$, the coefficient of $p$ at its natural degree is 1.

The theorem `Polynomial.natDegree_neg` states that for any type `R` equipped with a ring structure, and for any polynomial `p` of type `R`, the natural degree of the negation of `p` (`-p`) is equal to the natural degree of `p`. In other words, negating a polynomial does not change its natural degree.

More concisely: The natural degree of the negation of a polynomial is equal to the natural degree of the polynomial in any commutative ring.

This means that the highest degree term in the polynomial `X + r` (where `r` is a constant) always has the coefficient 1.

This theorem states that for any natural number `n`, the natural degree of the `n`-th power of the polynomial variable `X` (commonly known as the indeterminate) is equal to `n` itself. This fact holds for any semiring `R` that is nontrivial. In other words, it asserts that the degree (as a natural number) of the polynomial `X^n` is `n`, where `X` is the polynomial variable in the semiring `R`.

More concisely: For any natural number `n` and semiring `R`, the degree of the `n`-th power of the polynomial variable `X` in `R` is `n`.

In other words, the theorem confirms that the degree of the sum of two polynomials will not exceed the maximum degree of the two original polynomials, given that their degrees are both bounded by a certain natural number.

More concisely: For any semiring R and polynomials p and q over R of degrees less than or equal to natural number n, the degree of p + q is less than or equal to n.

theorem Polynomial.leadingCoeff_ne_zero : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, p.leadingCoeff ≠ 0 ↔ p ≠ 0

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_ne_zero` states that for any semiring `R` and any polynomial `p` with coefficients in `R`, the leading coefficient of `p` is not zero if and only if the polynomial `p` is not the zero polynomial. Here, the leading coefficient of a polynomial is defined as the coefficient of the highest power of `X` in the polynomial.

Polynomial.natDegree_mul_le

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_mul_le : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p q : Polynomial R}, (p * q).natDegree ≤ p.natDegree + q.natDegree

This theorem states that for any semiring `R` and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, the natural degree of the product of `p` and `q` is less than or equal to the sum of the natural degrees of `p` and `q`. In mathematical terms, if $p$ and $q$ are polynomials over a semiring, then the degree of $p \times q$ is less than or equal to the degree of $p$ plus the degree of $q$.

More concisely: The natural degree of the product of two polynomials over a semiring does not exceed the sum of their degrees.

Polynomial.natDegree_add_eq_left_of_natDegree_lt

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_add_eq_left_of_natDegree_lt : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p q : Polynomial R}, q.natDegree < p.natDegree → (p + q).natDegree = p.natDegree

This theorem states that for any semiring `R`, and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, if the natural degree of `q` is less than the natural degree of `p`, then the natural degree of the sum of `p` and `q` is equal to the natural degree of `p`. In terms of algebra, the degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variable. So in essence, when adding two polynomials, if one polynomial (`q`) has a degree less than the other (`p`), the degree of the resulting polynomial is equal to the degree of the polynomial with the higher degree.

More concisely: Given two polynomials `p` and `q` over a semiring `R` with the natural degree of `q` strictly less than that of `p`, the natural degree of `p + q` equals the natural degree of `p`.

In mathematical terms, if we denote the natural degree of a polynomial `p` as `deg(p)`, this theorem asserts that `deg(p^n) ≤ n * deg(p)` for any `n` in natural numbers.

More concisely: For any semiring R and polynomial p of type R, the natural degree of p raised to the power n is less than or equal to n times the natural degree of p. Equivalently, deg(p^n) ≤ n * deg(p) for all natural numbers n.

Polynomial.degree_mul

The theorem `Polynomial.degree_mul` states that for any type `R` that is a semiring and has no zero divisors, and for any polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, the degree of the product of `p` and `q` is equal to the sum of the degrees of `p` and `q`. In other words, it mathematically represents the property that the degree of the product of two polynomials is the sum of their degrees, i.e. if $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are two polynomials, then $\deg(p(x)q(x)) = \deg(p(x)) + \deg(q(x))$.

More concisely: For polynomials $p$ and $q$ over a semiring $R$ without zero divisors, the degree of their product is equal to the sum of their degrees.

This theorem states that for any type `R` that is equipped with a semiring structure and the property of non-triviality (meaning that there is at least one element in `R` that is not the additive identity), the natural degree of the monomial polynomial `X` (which is the polynomial variable or indeterminate) is `1`. In mathematical terms, it is saying that the degree of the polynomial `X` is `1` in any nontrivial semiring.

More concisely: In any semiring endowed with non-triviality, the degree of the monomial polynomial X is 1.

Polynomial.natDegree_X_pow_add_C

In other words, the degree of a polynomial formed by adding a constant to a monomial is determined solely by the degree of the monomial.

More concisely: The natural degree of a polynomial equal to `X^n + constant` in a semiring is `n`, where `n` is a natural number and `constant` is an element from the semiring.

Polynomial.nextCoeff_of_natDegree_pos

theorem Polynomial.nextCoeff_of_natDegree_pos : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, 0 < p.natDegree → p.nextCoeff = p.coeff (p.natDegree - 1)

The theorem `Polynomial.nextCoeff_of_natDegree_pos` states that for any semiring `R` and any polynomial `p` over `R`, if the natural degree of `p` is greater than zero, then the next coefficient of `p` is equal to the coefficient of `p` at the position of its natural degree minus one. In other words, for a non-zero-degree polynomial, its next coefficient is simply the coefficient of the term with one degree less. This theorem bridges the relation between the next coefficient and the natural degree of the polynomial in a semiring.

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and polynomial `p` of positive degree over `R`, the next coefficient of `p` is equal to the coefficient of `p` at degree `n-1`, where `n` is the degree of `p`.

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_of_subsingleton : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R} [inst_1 : Subsingleton R], p.natDegree = 0

The theorem `Polynomial.natDegree_of_subsingleton` states that for any type `R` with a `Semiring` structure, if `R` is a subsingleton (i.e., it has at most one element), then the natural degree of any polynomial `p` with coefficients in `R` is 0. In effect, this theorem shows that in a context where the ring of coefficients only contains one element (like the trivial ring), all polynomials are considered as having a degree of 0.

More concisely: If a type `R` equipped with a `Semiring` structure is a subsingleton, then the natural degree of any polynomial over `R` is 0.

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_C` states that for any type `R` equipped with a semiring structure and any element `a` of `R`, the leading coefficient of the constant polynomial `a` is `a` itself. In other words, if we create a polynomial that is a constant `a`, the coefficient of the highest-powered `X` term in this polynomial is `a`. This is true regardless of what `R` or `a` are, so long as `R` is a semiring.

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and constant polynomial `a` in `R[X]`, the leading coefficient of `a` is equal to `a`.

In other words, the degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent with a non-zero coefficient.

More concisely: The degree of a polynomial over a semiring is less than or equal to a given natural number if and only if all its coefficients for powers greater than that number are zero.

Polynomial.natDegree_C_mul_X_pow

In other words, the degree of a non-zero constant times a variable raised to a certain power is equal to that power within the context of polynomial mathematics.

More concisely: For any semiring R, natural number n, and non-zero element a in R, the degree of the polynomial a * X^n is n.

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_X_pow_sub_C : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Ring R] [inst_1 : Nontrivial R] {n : ℕ} {r : R}, (Polynomial.X ^ n - Polynomial.C r).natDegree = n

The theorem `Polynomial.natDegree_X_pow_sub_C` states that for any ring `R` which is nontrivial, and for any natural number `n` and any element `r` of `R`, the degree of the polynomial (when forced to ℕ) resulting from the subtraction of the constant polynomial `r` from the polynomial `X^n` (which is the variable polynomial `X` raised to the power `n`) equals `n`. This essentially means that the degree of the polynomial `X^n - r` is `n`.

More concisely: For any nontrivial ring R and natural number n, the degree of X^n - r is n.

In other words, scaling a polynomial by a scalar does not increase its degree.

More concisely: For any semiring R, element a of R, and polynomial p over R, the degree of a • p is less than or equal to the degree of p.

Polynomial.degree_X

theorem Polynomial.degree_X : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] [inst_1 : Nontrivial R], Polynomial.X.degree = 1 := by sorry

The theorem `Polynomial.degree_X` states that for any instance of a semiring `R` that is nontrivial, the degree of the polynomial `Polynomial.X` is `1`. In this context, `Polynomial.X` is a polynomial variable and the degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable that appears in the polynomial. Thus, this theorem is essentially saying that the degree of the polynomial variable itself is `1`, which is consistent with the notion that `Polynomial.X` represents a polynomial of the form `x^1`.

More concisely: For any nontrivial semiring R, the degree of the polynomial variable Polynomial.X is 1.

Polynomial.natDegree_eq_zero_iff_degree_le_zero

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_eq_zero_iff_degree_le_zero : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, p.natDegree = 0 ↔ p.degree ≤ 0

This theorem states that for any type `R` that is a semiring and for any polynomial `p` over `R`, the natural degree of `p` is zero if and only if the degree of `p` is less than or equal to zero. The natural degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent of 'X' that appears in the polynomial, with the special case that the natural degree of the zero polynomial is zero. The degree of a polynomial is similar, but it returns a bottom type (`⊥`) for the zero polynomial, meaning it's undefined or not applicable. This theorem connects these two definitions.

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and polynomial `p` over `R`, the natural degree and degree of `p` are equal when `p` is not the zero polynomial.

Polynomial.zero_le_degree_iff

This theorem states that for any given type `R` with a semiring structure and any polynomial `p` of type `R`, the degree of the polynomial `p` is greater than or equal to zero if and only if the polynomial `p` is not equal to zero. In other words, a polynomial has a non-negative degree if it is non-zero; conversely, if a polynomial has a non-negative degree, it must be non-zero.

The theorem `Polynomial.le_natDegree_of_mem_supp` states that for any type `R` that is a semiring and any polynomial `p` of that type, if a natural number `a` is in the support of `p` (that is, the coefficient of `X^a` in `p` is non-zero), then `a` is less than or equal to the natural degree of `p`. In other words, the degree of a polynomial is at least as large as any exponent of `X` whose coefficient is non-zero.

More concisely: For any semiring type R and polynomial p of type R[X], if a is a natural number in the support of p, then a <= degree p.

Polynomial.eq_C_of_degree_le_zero

theorem Polynomial.eq_C_of_degree_le_zero : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, p.degree ≤ 0 → p = Polynomial.C (p.coeff 0)

This theorem states that for any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, if the degree of `p` is less than or equal to 0, then `p` is equal to the constant polynomial `C` with the coefficient of `p` at 0. In other words, if a polynomial has no terms of degree higher than zero, then it is a constant polynomial, and its value is equal to its coefficient at 0.

More concisely: For any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R` of degree zero or less, `p` equals the constant polynomial with coefficient `p.0`.

Polynomial.as_sum_range

theorem Polynomial.as_sum_range : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] (p : Polynomial R), p = (Finset.range (p.natDegree + 1)).sum fun i => (Polynomial.monomial i) (p.coeff i)

The theorem `Polynomial.as_sum_range` states that for any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, `p` can be expressed as the sum of its monomials, where each monomial `a*X^i` is obtained by multiplying the coefficient of `X^i` in `p` by `X^i` (obtained using the `Polynomial.monomial` function), and the sum ranges over all natural numbers `i` from `0` to the degree of `p` (obtained using `Polynomial.natDegree` function). This is the formalization of the standard representation of a polynomial as a sum of monomials.

More concisely: For any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, `p` can be expressed as the sum of monomials `a*X^i` with coefficients `a` taken from `R` and indices `i` ranging from `0` to the degree of `p`.

This theorem states that for any type `R` that is a nontrivial semiring, and for any element `x` of `R`, the natural degree of the polynomial which is the sum of the polynomial variable `X` and the constant polynomial `C x` is always `1`. This means that the polynomial `X + C x` is treated as a first-degree polynomial regardless of the value of `x` in the semiring `R`.

More concisely: For any nontrivial semiring `R` and its element `x`, the polynomial `X + C x` has degree 1.

This theorem states that for any polynomial `p` of type `R`, where `R` is a semiring, if the natural degree of `p` is zero, then `p` is equal to the constant polynomial `C` with the coefficient of `p` at zero. In mathematical terms, if a polynomial has a degree of zero, then it is a constant polynomial, with the constant being the coefficient of the polynomial at zero.

More concisely: For any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R` of degree zero, `p` equals the constant polynomial `C` with coefficient `p.0`.

Polynomial.leadingCoeff_mul'

theorem Polynomial.leadingCoeff_mul' : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p q : Polynomial R}, p.leadingCoeff * q.leadingCoeff ≠ 0 → (p * q).leadingCoeff = p.leadingCoeff * q.leadingCoeff

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_mul'` states that for any semiring `R` and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, if the product of the leading coefficients of `p` and `q` is nonzero, then the leading coefficient of the product polynomial `p * q` is equal to the product of the leading coefficients of `p` and `q`. In other words, if neither of the polynomials `p` and `q` is the zero polynomial (as indicated by their leading coefficients being nonzero), then when we multiply these two polynomials, the leading coefficient of the resulting polynomial will be the product of the leading coefficients of `p` and `q`.

More concisely: If `R` is a semiring and `p` and `q` are polynomials over `R` with nonzero leading coefficients, then the leading coefficient of `p * q` is equal to the product of the leading coefficients of `p` and `q`.

Polynomial.degree_C_le

This theorem states that for any semiring `R` and any element `a` from `R`, the degree of the constant polynomial `C a` is less than or equal to zero. In other words, the highest power of `X` that appears in the constant polynomial is zero or, in a case where the constant is zero, there are no terms at all. This is based on our definition where the degree of a polynomial is the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial, and the degree of the zero polynomial is negative infinity (`⊥`).

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and its element `a`, the degree of the constant polynomial `C a` (where `C` is the constant polynomial functor) is less than or equal to zero.

Here, `Polynomial.C a` is the constant polynomial `a`, `Polynomial.X` is the polynomial variable (the equivalent of `x` in mathematical notation), and `Polynomial.degree` computes the highest power of the polynomial variable that appears in the polynomial.

More concisely: The degree of the linear polynomial `ax + b` over a semiring is less than or equal to 1, where `a` and `b` are elements of the semiring and `x` is the polynomial variable.

The theorem `Polynomial.eq_C_of_degree_eq_zero` states that for any semiring `R` and any polynomial `p` over `R`, if the degree of `p` is zero, then `p` is equal to the constant polynomial `C` with coefficient equal to the coefficient of `X^0` in `p`. In other words, if the degree of a polynomial is zero, this polynomial is just a constant term, which is the coefficient of `X^0`.

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and polynomial `p` over `R` of degree zero, `p` equals the constant polynomial with coefficient equal to `p.coeff 0`.

The theorem `Polynomial.Monic.leadingCoeff` states that for any semiring `R` and any polynomial `p` over `R`, if `p` is monic (that is, its leading coefficient is 1), then the leading coefficient of `p` equals 1. In other words, for a monic polynomial, the coefficient of the term of the polynomial with the highest power of `X` is always 1.

More concisely: If `p` is a monic polynomial over semiring `R`, then the leading coefficient of `p` is equal to 1.

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_lt_natDegree_iff : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p q : Polynomial R}, p ≠ 0 → (p.natDegree < q.natDegree ↔ p.degree < q.degree)

This theorem states that, for any type `R` that is a semiring and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, if `p` is not the zero polynomial, then the natural degree of `p` is less than the natural degree of `q` if and only if the degree of `p` is less than the degree of `q`. The natural degree of a polynomial is the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial, with the natural degree of the zero polynomial defined as 0. The degree of a polynomial is similar to the natural degree, but it is allowed to be bottom (⊥), which is the case for the zero polynomial.

More concisely: For any semiring type `R`, if non-zero polynomials `p` and `q` over `R` have different degrees, then their natural degrees are strictly less than or equal to their respective degrees.

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_zero` states that for any type `R` that forms a semiring, the leading coefficient of the zero polynomial is zero. Here, the leading coefficient of a polynomial is defined as the coefficient of the term with the highest power of `X`. In other words, if we have a polynomial which is identically zero, then the coefficient of its highest degree term (which doesn't exist because all terms are zero) is also zero.

Here, `X` is the polynomial variable, and the leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. Hence, regardless of the power `n`, the leading coefficient is always `1` for `X^n`.

This means that the polynomial `X^n - a` always has some non-zero terms for any choice of `a` and positive `n`.

Here, the "leading coefficient" of a polynomial is the coefficient of the highest power of `X` in the polynomial, and the "natural degree" of a polynomial forces the degree of the polynomial to ℕ by defining the natural degree of 0 as 0.

More concisely: If `R` is a semiring and `p(X)` and `q(X)` are polynomials over `R` with nonzero product of leading coefficients, then the natural degree of `p(X) * q(X)` equals the sum of the natural degrees of `p(X)` and `q(X)`.

In mathematical terms, if `p` is a polynomial over a ring `R`, then the largest exponent of `x` that appears in `-p` is the same as the largest exponent of `x` that appears in `p`.

This is expressed mathematically as $\text{degree}(X^n + a) = n$ for $n > 0$ and $a \in R$.

This theorem states that for any type `R` with a semiring structure and any polynomial `p` of type `R`, if there is a value `n` of type "WithBot ℕ" which is less than the degree of the polynomial `p`, then the polynomial `p` cannot be zero. In simpler terms, if a polynomial has a degree greater than a certain number `n`, then that polynomial cannot be the zero polynomial. Here, "WithBot ℕ" is a type that adds a 'bottom' element, typically denoted as `⊥`, to the natural numbers, and the degree of the zero polynomial is defined as this `⊥` value.

This means that `p` does not have a term with the same degree as the highest degree term of `q`.

This theorem states that for any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, if the degree of `p` (which could be `⊥` for the zero polynomial) is equal to `n` (where `n` is a natural number represented in the lifting of natural numbers to include `⊥`), then the natural degree of `p` (which forces the degree of `p` to natural numbers by setting the degree of the zero polynomial to `0`) is also `n`. In other words, if the degree of the polynomial, which could be potentially undefined (in the case of the zero polynomial), is defined and equal to `n`, then the natural degree, which is always defined, is also `n`.

In other words, it states that the degree of a polynomial, which is the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial, is less than or equal to a certain natural number if the natural degree of the polynomial, which is the same as the degree but defined to be zero for the zero polynomial, is less than or equal to that number.

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_mul` states that for any given semiring `R` with no zero divisors, and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, the leading coefficient (the coefficient of the highest power of `X`) of the product of `p` and `q` is equal to the product of the leading coefficients of `p` and `q`. In other words, if we multiply two polynomials, the leading coefficient of the resulting polynomial is the multiplication of the leading coefficients of the original polynomials. This can be expressed mathematically as `leadCoeff(p * q) = leadCoeff(p) * leadCoeff(q)`.

More concisely: For polynomials $p$ and $q$ over a semiring $R$ without zero divisors, the leading coefficient of their product $pq$ is equal to the product of their leading coefficients. In Lean notation: `leadCoeff (p * q) = leadCoeff p * leadCoeff q`.

This theorem states that for any semiring `R` and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, if the natural degree of `p` is less than the natural degree of `q`, then the degree of `p` is also less than the degree of `q`. The natural degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial, or `0` in the case of the zero polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is similarly the highest power of `X` that appears, but is undefined for the zero polynomial.

In other words, in a cubic polynomial, the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial is 3.

More concisely: The degree of a cubic polynomial `aX^3 + bX^2 + cX + d` over a semiring `R` is bounded by 3, where `a`, `b`, `c`, `d` are elements of `R` and `X` is the polynomial variable.

In other words, in any polynomial, the coefficient of the term with the highest power of `X` (the leading term) is the same whether we retrieve it using the `coeff` function with the natural degree of the polynomial as the argument, or directly using the `leadingCoeff` function.

More concisely: The theorem `Polynomial.coeff_natDegree` asserts that the coefficient of the term of highest degree in a polynomial equals the leading coefficient, i.e., `coeff p (natDegree p) = leadingCoeff p`.

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is defined as the coefficient of the highest power of `X` in the polynomial. Therefore, this theorem is essentially stating that a polynomial is zero if and only if its highest power term's coefficient is zero.

theorem Polynomial.le_degree_of_ne_zero : ∀ {R : Type u} {n : ℕ} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, p.coeff n ≠ 0 → ↑n ≤ p.degree

This theorem states that for any semiring `R`, any natural number `n`, and any polynomial `p` over `R`, if the coefficient of `X^n` in `p` (denoted `Polynomial.coeff p n`) is not zero, then `n` is less than or equal to the degree of the polynomial `p` (denoted `Polynomial.degree p`). In other words, if a term with `X^n` is present (and has non-zero coefficient) in the polynomial, the degree of the polynomial is at least `n`.

More concisely: For any semiring `R`, if `p` is a polynomial over `R` with non-zero coefficient for `X^n` where `n` is less than or equal to the degree of `p`, then `n` is equal to the degree of `p`. (Note: The statement in the description seems to have a mistake as it only guarantees that the degree of `p` is at least `n`, not equal to `n`.)

The theorem `Polynomial.degree_le_zero_iff` establishes an equivalence condition for a polynomial in a given semiring. It states that for any polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, the degree of the polynomial `p` is less than or equal to zero if and only if `p` is equal to the constant polynomial whose coefficient is the coefficient of `p` at degree 0. In other words, a polynomial has degree at most zero if and only if it is a constant polynomial, where the constant term is the coefficient of the zeroth degree term of the polynomial.

The theorem `Polynomial.degree_C_mul_X_pow_le` states that for any semiring `R`, any natural number `n`, and any element `a` of `R`, the degree of the polynomial obtained by multiplying the constant polynomial `a` with the `n`th power of the polynomial variable `X` is at most `n`. In other words, if we form a polynomial by multiplying a constant by `X` raised to some power, the degree of that polynomial (the highest exponent that appears) cannot exceed that power.

This theorem states that for any semiring `R`, additively commutative monoid `S`, and a polynomial `p` over `R`, given a function `f` mapping from natural numbers and elements of `R` to `S` that maps any natural number and zero to zero, the sum of `f(n, p.coeff n)` over the support of `p` can be reexpressed as the sum of `f(a, p.coeff a)` over the range from `0` to `p.natDegree + 1`. In other words, the sum over the non-zero coefficients of the polynomial can be computed as a sum over a range that extends one past the degree of the polynomial.

More concisely: For any semiring `R`, additively commutative monoid `S`, polynomial `p` over `R`, and function `f` from natural numbers and `R` to `S` with `f(n, 0) = 0`, the sum of `f(n, p.coeff n)` over the support of `p` equals the sum of `f(a, p.coeff a)` for `0 ≤ a ≤ p.natDegree + 1`.

In mathematical terms, this means that the degree of the constant polynomial `1` (which is a polynomial that does not depend on the variable) in any semiring is `0`. This is consistent with the general rule that the degree of a nonzero constant polynomial is `0`.

More concisely: For any semiring R, the constant polynomial 1 has degree 0.

In other words, the degree of a constant polynomial, when considered as a natural number, is always zero, regardless of the semiring in which the polynomial is defined or the specific constant value of the polynomial.

More concisely: The natural degree of a constant polynomial is always 0 in any semiring.

This theorem states that for any given non-zero polynomial `p` over a semiring `R`, the degree of `p` is equal to the natural number degree of `p`. In mathematical terms, if 'p' is not equal to zero, then the degree of 'p', which is the highest power of 'X' that appears in 'p' (possibly with a bottom element for the zero polynomial), is equal to the natural number degree of 'p', which forces the degree into the set of natural numbers, defining the degree of the zero polynomial as 0.

In other words, when we have a polynomial that is simply a constant (non-zero) value, the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial is 0, as there are no `X` terms in the polynomial.

More concisely: For any semiring `R` and non-zero element `a` in `R`, the degree of the constant polynomial `C a` is 0.

More specifically, `p` is equal to the product of the constant polynomial of the coefficient of `X` in `p` and the polynomial variable `X`, added to the constant polynomial of the constant term in `p`. In mathematical terms, if the degree of a polynomial `p(X)` is less than or equal to 1, then `p(X) = aX + b`, where `a` is the coefficient of `X` in `p` and `b` is the constant term in `p`.

In other words, the highest power of `X` in `p - q` is less than the highest power of `X` in `p`.

More concisely: Given polynomials `p` and `q` over a ring `R` with equal degrees and non-zero leading coefficients, `p - q` has degree strictly less than that of `p`.

Polynomial.monic_X

theorem Polynomial.monic_X : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R], Polynomial.X.Monic

This theorem states that the polynomial variable, often referred to as the indeterminate and denoted by `X`, is `Monic` in any semiring `R`. In other words, the leading coefficient of the polynomial `X` is 1. A `Monic` polynomial is defined as a polynomial whose leading coefficient is 1. A semiring is a mathematical structure which is an algebraic structure similar to a ring, but without the requirement that each element must have an additive inverse.

More concisely: In any semiring, the polynomial in the indeterminate `X` is monic, meaning its leading coefficient equals 1.

Polynomial.natDegree_pos_iff_degree_pos

theorem Polynomial.natDegree_pos_iff_degree_pos : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p : Polynomial R}, 0 < p.natDegree ↔ 0 < p.degree

The theorem `Polynomial.natDegree_pos_iff_degree_pos` states that for any type `R` with a semiring structure and any polynomial `p` over `R`, the natural degree of `p` is greater than 0 if and only if the degree of `p` (which can potentially be an element of the `WithBot ℕ` type) is greater than 0. In other words, a polynomial has a positive natural degree if and only if it has a positive degree, where the degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of `X` that appears in the polynomial (or `⊥` for the zero polynomial) and the natural degree forces the degree of the zero polynomial to be 0.

More concisely: For any polynomial p over a semiring R, the natural degree is strictly positive if and only if the degree is positive (or non-zero).

Polynomial.degree_one

theorem Polynomial.degree_one : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] [inst_1 : Nontrivial R], Polynomial.degree 1 = 0

The theorem `Polynomial.degree_one` asserts that for any type `R` that has a structure of a semiring and is nontrivial, the degree of the constant polynomial `1` is `0`. In other words, in a nontrivial semiring, the highest power of `X` that appears in the constant polynomial `1` is `0`.

More concisely: In a nontrivial semiring, the constant polynomial 1 has degree 0.

Polynomial.leadingCoeff_X_sub_C

theorem Polynomial.leadingCoeff_X_sub_C : ∀ {S : Type v} [inst : Ring S] (r : S), (Polynomial.X - Polynomial.C r).leadingCoeff = 1

This theorem states that for any ring `S` and any element `r` of `S`, the leading coefficient of the polynomial `Polynomial.X - Polynomial.C r` is `1`. In other words, if we subtract a constant polynomial `r` from the polynomial variable `X`, the coefficient of the highest power term in the resulting polynomial is always `1`, regardless of the specific ring we are working in or the value of `r`.

More concisely: For any ring `S` and element `r` in `S`, the leading coefficient of `Polynomial.X - Polynomial.const r` is `1`.

Polynomial.leadingCoeff_add_of_degree_lt

theorem Polynomial.leadingCoeff_add_of_degree_lt : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] {p q : Polynomial R}, p.degree < q.degree → (p + q).leadingCoeff = q.leadingCoeff

The theorem `Polynomial.leadingCoeff_add_of_degree_lt` states that for any semiring `R` and any two polynomials `p` and `q` over `R`, if the degree of `p` is less than the degree of `q`, then the leading coefficient of the sum of `p` and `q` is the same as the leading coefficient of `q`. In other words, when adding two polynomials, if one polynomial has a lower degree than the other, the leading coefficient of the result is not affected by the lower degree polynomial.

More concisely: If `p` and `q` are polynomials over a semiring `R` with `deg p < deg q`, then the leading coefficient of `p + q` equals the leading coefficient of `q`.

Polynomial.monic_X_pow

theorem Polynomial.monic_X_pow : ∀ {R : Type u} [inst : Semiring R] (n : ℕ), (Polynomial.X ^ n).Monic

The theorem `Polynomial.monic_X_pow` states that for any semiring `R` and for any natural number `n`, the polynomial obtained by raising the polynomial variable `X` to the power `n` is monic. In other words, the leading coefficient of the polynomial `X^n` is 1. A semiring is a type `R` that satisfies certain algebraic properties, including the presence of two binary operations (typically addition and multiplication).

More concisely: For any semiring R and natural number n, the polynomial X^n is monic (has a leading coefficient of 1).
