Cover Story: The figure says that all polynomials are related to each other and can represent each by finite products of themselves. Each relation between polynomials is expressed by gears which stand for the polynomials. Further, the equation shows that the finite products of Fubini polynomials can be expressed by a linear combination of Fubini polynomials. View this paper.
