Singular Manual: derivationEval

| #### D.15.4.42 derivationEval Procedure from library `difform.lib` (see difform_lib). Usage: phi(df); phi derivation, df difform Return: the polynomial phi(df), the derivation phi evaluated at df Remarks: - By linearity it is enough to compute the sum of all differential forms: (coefficient of dx_i)*(image of dx_i) - The coefficient list of df is computed via difformCoef - To avoid searching generators in lists, the coefficient list of df and the structure list of phi are sorted the same way Note: - the differential form 0 is allowed as input - an error will occur if the given differential form is not of degree 1 or -1 Example:
