productOfProjectiveSpaces -- Constructs the multi-graded ring of a product of copies of P^1 (pp is a synonym)

Synopsis

Usage:

R = productOfProjectiveSpaces L

R = productOfProjectiveSpaces n
Inputs:
- L, a list, of positive integers, the dimensions of the projective spaces
- n, an integer, positive integer, number of P^1 factors
Optional inputs:
- CoefficientField => a ring, default value ZZ/32003, the ground field
- VariableName => a string, default value "x", name of variable to use.
Outputs:
- R, a ring, ZZ^n - graded

The variables are in 1+L_i -tuples, x_(i,0).. x_(i,L_i) with degree {0..0,1,0..0}, the 1 being in the i-th place.
