taylor -- Gives the nth differential in the Taylor resolution of a monomial ideal I.

Synopsis

Description

i1 : R = ZZ/101[a,b]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : I = monomialIdeal (ideal vars R)^3

                     3   2      2   3
o2 = monomialIdeal (a , a b, a*b , b )

o2 : MonomialIdeal of R
i3 : T2 = taylor(2,I)

o3 = {3} | -b -b2 0  -b3 0   0  |
     {3} | a  0   -b 0   -b2 0  |
