  • coefficients(...,Variables=>...) -- see coefficients -- get the monomials and coefficients of a polynomial or matrix
  • monoid(...,Variables=>...) -- specify the names of the indeterminates
  • monomials(...,Variables=>...) -- specify variables
  • newRing(...,Variables=>...) -- see newRing -- make a copy of a ring, with some features changed
  • symmetricAlgebra(...,Variables=>...) -- see symmetricAlgebra -- the symmetric algebra of a module
  • tensor(Monoid,Monoid,Variables=>...) -- see tensor(Monoid,Monoid) -- tensor product of monoids
  • tensor(Ring,Ring,Variables=>...) -- see tensor(Monoid,Monoid) -- tensor product of monoids
