   <dcterms:abstract>The polynomial method refers to the application of polynomials to combinatorial&#xd;
problems. The method is particularly effective for Galois geometries and a number&#xd;
of problems and conjectures have been solved using the polynomial method. In many&#xd;
cases the polynomial approach is the only method which we know of that works. In this&#xd;
article, the various polynomial techniques that have been applied to Galois geometries&#xd;
are detailed and, to demonstrate how to apply these techniques, some of the problems&#xd;
referred to above are resolved.</dcterms:abstract>
