👉 In mathematics, the term "noncircuitousness" is used to describe a situation where a given function or expression cannot be expressed as an explicit sum of powers of its arguments. In other words, it refers to a function that can be defined in terms of its arguments but not expressed as a power series. For example, consider the function f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 1. This function cannot be written as an explicit sum of powers
