We define several polynomial operators.


gcd

The n-ary greatest common divisor for univariate polynomials.

Example:
The gcd(X,Y,Z).
gcd ( X , Y , Z )

factor

Description:

The action of factoring a polynomial into irreducible factors (I know this is field dependent but lets keep it simple by now).

Example:
factor ( X )

factors

Description:

The action of returning a list composed of the irreducible factors of a polynomial. (I know this is field dependent but lets keep it simple by now).

Example:
The gcd(X,Y,Z).
