The "degree" is only specified for polynomials. The degree of a monomial (a single term) is the sum of the powers of all the variables. For example, x3y2z would have the degree 6; you have to add 3 + 2 + 1 (since z is the same as z to the power 1). The degree of a polynomial is the degree of its highest monomial.
