Examples
- Given a d-dimensional polytope P with rational vertices, define tP to be the convex hull of . The function is a quasi-polynomial in t of degree d. In this case, L(P,t) is a function . This is known as the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial, named after Eugène Ehrhart.
- Given two quasi-polynomials F and G, the convolution of F and G is
which is a quasi-polynomial with degree

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
