Hi, it has been pointed out
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2148461&group_id=4933&atid=104933)
that the following text (shown by ? factor) is inaccurate:
Factors the expression <expr>, containing any number of variables
or functions, into factors irreducible over the integers. `factor
(<expr>, <p>)' factors <expr> over the field of integers with an
element adjoined whose minimum polynomial is <p>.
How could that be rephrased? Maybe the text should distinguish
special cases for the integers and for polynomials.
Thanks for your help,
Robert Dodier
