Singular Manual: symm

| #### D.5.2.1 symm Procedure from library `chern.lib` (see chern_lib). Usage: symm(l [,n]); l a list of polynomials, n integer Return: list of polynomials Purpose: computes the list of elementary symmetric functions in the entries of l Note: makes sense only for a list of polynomials Example:
    LIB "chern.lib";
    // elementary symmetric functions in x, y, z:
    ring r = 0, (x, y, z), dp;
    list l=(x, y, z);
    print(symm(l));
    //now let us compute only the first two symmetric polynomials in a(1), ... , a(10)
    ring q= 0,(a(1..10)), dp;
    list l=a(1..10);
    print(symm(l, 2));
