powerSumSymmetricPolynomials(PolynomialRing) -- the power sum symmetric polynomials

Synopsis

Description

As an example the power sum symmetric polynomials of a ring with three variables are calculated. These polynomials form a basis for the ring of symmetric polynomials.

i1 : R = QQ[x_1..x_3]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : powerSumSymmetricPolynomials R
