Example:
randpoly(t, 8, -1..1) returns a vector of 9 random
integers, all of them between –1 and 1.
Minimum With only a matrix as argument, returns the minimal
polynomial in x of a matrix written as a list of its coefficients.
With a matrix and a variable as arguments, returns the
minimum polynomial of the matrix written in symbolic form
with respect to the variable.
pmin(Mtrx,[Var])
Example:
pmin([[1,0],[0,1]],x) gives x-1
Algebra
Quotient Returns the Euclidean quotient of two polynomials written as
vectors or in symbolic form.
quo((Vect),(Vect),[Var])
or
quo((Poly),(Poly),[Var])
Example:
quo([1,2,3,4],[-1,2]) gives poly1[-1,-4,-11]
Remainder Returns the Euclidean remainder of two polynomials written as
vectors or in symbolic form.
rem((Vect),(Vect),[Var])
or
rem((Poly),(Poly),[Var])
Example:
rem([1,2,3,4],[-1,2]) gives poly1[26]
Degree Returns the degree of a polynomial.
degree(Poly)
Example:
degree(x^3+x) gives 3
