Excluding calculus (which is, in fact, a part of algebra), the degree of an expression is the maximum sum of the powers of the variables in the expression.Consider the expression x2y3 + xy5 + 17x4
The sums of the powers of the three terms are: 2+3 = 5, 1+5 = 6 and 4=4
So the expression is of degree 6.
