Overview:

This library implements a ring independent polynomial type used for the return value in classify2.lib and realclassify.lib. You can use +, * and == for addition, multiplication and comparison. The key over contains the base ring of the polynomial, the key value its value as a polynomial of type poly. The constructor can be called by assigning a polynomial of type poly to a polynomial of type Poly via =.

Moreover the library implements a class NormalformEquation consisting out of a string type, an integer milnorNumber, a Poly normalFormEquation, and integer modality, a list of numbers parameters, a list variables, an integer corank, in the real case, an integer inertiaIndex, a list of open intervals represented as lists consisting out of two rationals used to select a real root of the minimal polynomial (which is stored in the variable minpoly of the polynomial ring containing normalFormEquation, that is, in normalFormEquation.in), or if no minimal polynomial is defined then an interval containing the rational parameter value.
