Abstract: The article focuses on three different notions of polynomiality for maps of modules. In addition to the polynomial maps studied by Eilenberg and Mac Lane and the strict polynomial maps ("lois polynomes") considered by Roby, we introduce numerical maps and investigate their properties. Even though our notion require the existence of binomial co-efficients in the base ring, we argue that it constitutes the correct way to extend Eilenberg and Mac Lane's polynomial maps of abelian groups to incorporate modules over more general rings. The main theorem propounds that our maps admit a description corresponding, word by word, to Roby's definition of strict polynomial maps.
