sturmab takes four arguments: a polynomial expression P, a 
variable name and two real or complex numbers a and b
- 
if a and b are reals, 
sturmab returns the number of sign changes of P on ]a; b].
In other words, it returns the number of zeros in [a,b[ of the 
polynomial P/G where G=gcd(P,diff(P)).
- if a or b are complex, 
sturmab returns the number of complex roots of P in the rectangle 
having a and b as opposite vertices.
 
Input :
sturmab(x^2*(x^3+2),x,-2,0)

Warning !!!!
 P is defined by its symbolic expression.
