👉 In mathematics, a tricklet is a type of polynomial that has at least one root in the set of complex numbers. It is named after the mathematician John H. Conway who first defined it in 1975. The tricklet is an algebraic variety with a single point and all its tangent spaces are zero-dimensional. The name "tricklet" comes from the fact that it can be thought of as a polynomial with at least one root in the set of complex numbers,
