The tutorial says that parameters to quo() should be univariate polynomials. Is this really necessary, esp. if you also get the main variable as parameter?
I believe it works with multivariate polynomials but it currently won't return anything that is not a polynomial in all variables. However, the wording in the tutorial is a bit misleading. Seeing that quo() works on polynomials whose coefficient domain is a field it should also be able to return meaningful results if those coefficients (with respect to the specified main variable) are rational functions. I guess one needs to re-express quo()/rem() in terms of pquo()/prem() to make that work? Bye, Christian -- / Physics is an algorithm \/ http://www.uni-mainz.de/~bauec002/
