You can use it (as almost every LaTeX package) but there is no GUI support
(out of the box).
The installation procedure depends on your system and the LaTeX distribution
you use, but basically means:
1. download
2. put into ~/texmf/tex/latex/ or /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
(on a Unix machine)
3. run texhash
4. reconfigure LyX (only for packages recognised by LyX)
(i.e. not needed for polynom)
To use the commands,
a) read the manual
b) in LyX insert the LaTeX commands in raw mode, "evil red text" (ERT).
Press Ctrl-l to get the ERT box.
Alternatively, experiment with the math editor and read the Help>Math
handbook.
