Class mpoly represents a numeric array (of any nonempty size, any number of dimensions) as a polynomial function (any degree) of a set of independent parameters (any number of parameters), or as a truncated polynomial approximation (Taylor series). The class encapsulates the function value and its series coefficients.
Most standard array operations (+, -, *, /, cat, transpose, etc.) are implemented in mpoly to automatically calculate series coefficients for the result, effectively implementing automatic differentiation. Multivariate operations can be applied to mixed mpoly and numeric arguments, with numeric values being interpreted as constants.
