Symbol for set of all polynomials of certain degree

Question

The symbol I am looking for is something like a curvy P, where P_n(F) represents the set of all polynomials with coefficients in F and degree equal to or less than n.

Any suggestions?

I use something like \mathcal{P}_n(F), but meaning the set of polynomials with degree less than n (which so is a vector space of dimension n, for all n ≥ 0). I've never understood why people use the wrong indexing. — egreg, Sep 17 '15 at 15:37

You can use: $\mathcal{P}_n(F)$

Or more writing style using package mathrsfs: $\mathscr{P}_n(F)$

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{P}_n(F)$
$\mathscr{P}_n(F)$
\end{document}

Output result:

Note that \mathscr requires a specific package. – egreg Sep 17 '15 at 15:38

Providing an MWE and an output image with your answer is also helpful to readers. – Steven B. Segletes Sep 17 '15 at 15:44
