x^2 + 1 because it's the splitting polynomial for the complex numbers over R and it's extremely simply

it's also an example of a polynomial that's not zero as a polynomial but zero as a function when regarded over F_2

1+x+x^2/2+x^3/6+...+x^n/n!
is an excellent polynomial.
It not only gets better as n goes to infinity, but the rate at which it gets better and the acceleration by which it gets better and so on are also proportional to n.

I bet you also think e is a rational number because it's equal to a sum of infinitely many rational numbers.

But the space of polynomials has an arbitrary number of degrees so it has an infinite basis. So, in some sense it can be a polynomial.

wrong

almost any major theorem about polynomials won't hold for the exponential

especially the most important ones like 'every non-constant polynomial has a root in the complex plane'

I understand that you're being intentionally disingenuous to get a rise out of people, but in the end you're only making yourself look like a tremendous brainlet.

The theorem also holds for the extende complex plane, its a weaker statement so no problems.

You're just misusing well-known mathematical terms. I assumed you are baiting but maybe you are actually a moron. Terms like "polynomial" and "complex plane" have precise definitions, and making up your own definitions because you don't know the real ones is not "awesome" but rather a sign of ignorance.
