These polynomials satisfy positivity, orthogonality, and stability properties, and represent the classes of Schubert varieties and degeneracy loci of vector bundles. When w is a maximal Grassmannian element of the Weyl group, P_w(X,Y) can be expressed in terms of Schur-type determinants and Pfaffians, in analogy with the type A formula of Kempf and Laksov. An example, motivated by quantum cohomology, shows that there are no Chern class formulas for degeneracy loci of ``isotropic morphisms'' of bundles.34 pages, LaTeX; final versionAlgebraic GeometryCombinatorics14M15; 14C17, 05E15text
