Singular Manual: setUniformizingParameter

| #### D.15.27.1 setUniformizingParameter Procedure from library `tropicalNewton.lib` (see tropicalNewton_lib). Usage: setUniformizingParameter(p); p number Return: none, sets the uniformizing parameter as p Assume: char(K)==0 and p prime number or trdeg(K)>0 and p transcendental variable or p==0 Example:
    LIB "tropicalNewton.lib";
    // poor man's polynomials over Puiseux series:
    ring r = (0,t),x,dp;
    setUniformizingParameter(t);
    val(t2+t3);
    ==> 2
    val(t^-2+t^-3);
    ==> -3
    // poor man's polynomials over p-adic numbers:
    ring s = 0,x,dp;
    setUniformizingParameter(2);
    val(12);
    ==> 2
    val(1/12);
    ==> -2
