|  |  D.15.4.28 chSymm Procedure from librarychern.lib(see  chern_lib).
 
Example:Usage:
chSymm(k, r, c[, pos]); k, r integers, c list of polynomials, pos list of integers
Return:
list with entries: int N, list of polynomials l
Purpose:
computes the rank and the Chern classes of the symmetric power of a vector bundle
Note:
for the second symmetric power chSymm2L(...) could be faster
