ncIdeal -- Define a two-sided ideal in a noncommutative ring

Synopsis

Description

This defines a two-sided ideal in a noncommutative ring.

i1 : A = QQ{x,y,z}

o1 = A

o1 : NCPolynomialRing
i2 : p = y*z + z*y - x^2

            2
o2 = zy+yz-x

o2 : A
i3 : q = x*z + z*x - y^2

         2
o3 = zx-y +xz

o3 : A
i4 : r = z^2 - x*y - y*x

      2
o4 = z -yx-xy
