Elementary Symmetric PolynomialIn mathematics, elementary symmetric polynomials are basic building block for symmetric polynomials. Consider the variables . We have that -
The coefficients of the powers of -
are the elementary symmetric polynomials in 3 variables. Note that these polynomials are indeed symmetric, as when some variables are interchanged, the polynomials stay the same. In the same way, one can write -
and the obtained coefficients of the powers of are the elementary symmetric polynomials in variables. Notice that for each between 1 and , there exists exactly one elementary symmetric polynomial of degree . The uses of these polynomials are described in the symmetric polynomials article.
