Could someone with a maths background rewrite this?

Phrases like "polynomial number of steps" are nonsense to most English speakers. I assume that phrasing has some kind of meaning in mathematics circles, but the words are meaningless outside those circle. You may as well write "banana number of steps". Banana isn't a number. Neither is polynomial. The rest of us can only take it on faith that the sentence has meaning.

I completely agree. I have added the {{complex}} tag because I do not know enough about the subject to rewrite it myself. -82.1.109.96 (talk) 20:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
