The key is in the help page for apply. It says (in part): In all cases the result is coerced by Œas.vector¹ to one of the basic vector types before the dimensions are set, so that (for example) factor results will be coerced to a character array. So although as.polynomial() returns

it looks like as. polynomial merely stores the coefficients of the polynomial. "Internally, polynomials are simply numeric coefficient vectors of class "polynomial". " If you really want to print it in the form you want try this. m <- matrix(rnorm(3000),1000,3) apply(m, 1, function(x){
