e/Indeterminate (variable)

Information
has gloss	eng: In mathematics, and particularly in formal algebra, an indeterminate is a symbol that does not stand for anything else but itself. In particular it does not designate a constant, or a parameter of the problem, it is not an unknown that could be solved for, it is not a variable designating a function argument, or being summed or integrated over, or any other type of bound variable. Indeterminates are used to build formal objects such as polynomials, formal power series, or elements of a free group.
