Methods:

Algebra::Polynomial.convert_to(ring)

Returns the ring converted to ring of Algebra::MPolynomial.

Algebra::Polynomial#value_on(ring)

Returns the ring converted to ring of Algebra::MPolynomial.

Example:

require "m-polynomial"
require "polynomial"

P = Algebra::Polynomial(Integer, "x", "y", "z")
x, y, z = P.vars
f = x**2 + y**2 + z**2 - x*y - y*z - z*x

MP = P.convert_to(Algebra::MPolynomial)
p f = f.value_on(MP) #=> z^2 - zy - zx + y^2 - yx + x^2
x, y, z = MP.vars
p f == x**2 + y**2 + z**2 - x*y - y*z - z*x #=> true

Algebra::MPolynomial.convert_to(ring)

Returns the ring converted to ring of Algebra::Polynomial

Algebra::MPolynomial#value_on(ring)

Returns the ring converted to ring of Algebra::Polynomial.

Example:

require "m-polynomial"
require "polynomial"

MP = Algebra::MPolynomial(Integer, "x", "y", "z")
x, y, z = MP.vars
f = x**2 + y**2 + z**2 - x*y - y*z - z*x

P = MP.convert_to(Algebra::Polynomial)
p f = f.value_on(P) #=> x^2 + (-y - z)x + y^2 - zy + z^2
x, y, z = P.vars
p f == x**2 + y**2 + z**2 - x*y - y*z - z*x #=> true
