| ### 4.17.3 poly operations `+` addition `-` negation or subtraction `*` multiplication `/`, `div` division by a polynomial, ignoring the remainder (only implemented for polynomials over QQ, ZZ/p and field extensions of them) (See also quotient, division, reduce) `%`, `mod` the remainder from the division by a polynomial (only implemented for polynomials over QQ, ZZ/p and field extensions of them) (See also quotient, division, reduce) `^`, `**` power by a positive integer `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `==`, `<>` comparators (considering leading monomials w.r.t. monomial ordering) poly_expression `[` intvec_expression `]` the sum of monomials at the indicated places w.r.t. the monomial ordering Example:
      ring R=0,(x,y),dp;
      poly f = x3y2 + 2x2y2 + xy - x + y + 1;
      f;
    ==> x3y2+2x2y2+xy-x+y+1
      f + x5 + 2;
    ==> x5+x3y2+2x2y2+xy-x+y+3
      f * x2;
    ==> x5y2+2x4y2+x3y-x3+x2y+x2
      (x+y)/x;
    ==> 1
      f/3x2;
    ==> 1/3xy2+2/3y2
      x5 > f;
    ==> 1
      x<=y;
    ==> 0
      x>y;
    ==> 1
      ring r=0,(x,y),ds;
      poly f = fetch(R,f);
      f;
    ==> 1-x+y+xy+2x2y2+x3y2
      x5 > f;
    ==> 0
      f[2..4];
    ==> -x+y+xy
      size(f);
    ==> 6
      f[size(f)+1]; f[-1];    // monomials out of range are 0
    ==> 0
    ==> 0
      intvec v = 6,1,3;
      f[v];          // the polynom built from the 1st, 3rd and 6th monomial of f
    ==> 1+y+x3y2
