    Coefficient
    In mathematics, a `coefficient` is a constant multiplicative factor of a certain object. For example, the coefficient of `x` `2` in `9x``2` is `9`. The object can be such things as a variable, a vector, a function, etc. In some cases, the objects and the coefficients are indexed in the same way, leading to expressions such as: :a_1 x_1 + a_2 x_2 + a_3 x_3 + cdots where `a``n` is the coefficient of the variable `x``n` for each `n` = 1, 2, 3, â...
