In this work we study the topologies of the fibres of some families of comp
lex polynomial functions with isolated critical points. We consider polynom
ials with some transversality conditions at infinity and compute explicitly
its global Milnor number mu(f), the invariant lambda(f) and therefore the
Euler characteristic of its generic fibre. We show that under some mild tra
nsversality condition (transversal at infinity) the behavior of f at infini
ty is good and the topology of the generic fibre is determined by the two h
omogeneous parts of higher degree of f. Finally we study families of polyno
mials, called two-term polynomials. This polynomials may have atypical valu
es at infinity. Given such a two-term polynomial I we characterize its atyp
ical values by some invariants of f. These polynomials are a source of inte
resting examples.
