Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
Function: schur2comp (<P>, <l_var>) <P> is a polynomial in the variables of the list <l_var>. Each of these variables represents a complete symmetric function. In <l_var> the <i>-th complete symmetric function is represented by the concatenation of the letter h and the integer <i>: h<i>. This function expresses <P> in terms of Schur functions.
