| #### D.12.7.4 boundBuFou Procedure from library `rootsur.lib` (see rootsur_lib). Usage: boundBuFou(p,a,b); p poly, a,b number Return: int: an upper bound for the number of real roots of p in (a,b], with the same parity as the actual number of roots (using the Budan-Fourier Theorem) Assume: - p is a univariate polynomial with rational coefficients - a, b are rational numbers with a < b Example:
    LIB "rootsur.lib";
    ring r = 0,x,dp;
    poly p = (x+2)*(x-1)*(x-5);
    boundBuFou(p,-3,5);
    ==> 3
    boundBuFou(p,-2,5);
    ==> 2
