prependZeroMap -- prepend a zero map to chain complex

Synopsis

Description

Add a zero map before the first differential in a chain complex.

i1 : S=ZZ/101[x,y]/ideal(x*y)

o1 = S

o1 : QuotientRing
i2 : C=chainComplex(matrix{{x}},matrix{{y}}**S^{ -1},matrix{{x}}**S^{ -2})[1]

      1      1      1      1
o2 = S  <-- S  <-- S  <-- S
                           
     -1     0      1      2
